This one has been sitting on the ground by my lathe for months. Glad I finally finished it. The grain is something. 8” wide.

Second of the last three pieces made this way. 8.5” wide.

I started the second turning of this one before Christmas. I put it off till later because it was causing me difficulty. Fortunately my parents got me the tool rest I needed to fish gouging out the inside for Christmas. My dad also suggested trying s

Utilised a little copper to enhance the bark inclusion. 8” wide pecan bowl.

All wood on this 8” wide pecan bowl. Had a little fun in the rim.

These sure take a lot less time when the wood doesn’t need any stabilisation. Nice to work on a perfect piece of mesquite once every other third blue moon. 10” wide.

My dad has a lot more time in this one than me. This is the first of the last three of this variety we will ever be making. Way too much time required for these. 11” wide.

The grain in this big ole 15” mesquite bowl really outshines the malachite fills.

A lot going on in this one. Very pleased. 12” wide.

16” wide black mesquite with turquoise epoxy fill. The fun pattern on the very base was not intentional but I like it.

The piece of mesquite this 14” wide bowl was from was very well weathered by the time I got to it. The separation in the pith and a few radial cracks served as lovely opportunities for some brass inlay. Very pleased with this one.

11” wide pedestal mesquite bowl with copper inlay. This was my first time using copper metal inlay. It’s rather easier to work with than turquoise.

16” wide black mesquite in my signature style. Copper epoxy fill.

Massive 15” wide mesquite bowl with sky blue epoxy. Lighter than a lot of my smaller bowls as this one if thinner than my usual. Rather floats in the hands.

Needed just a kiss of epoxy on this one. Beautiful grain on this black mesquite, and I was very pleased with the subtle shape. 10” wide.

I like the way pecan turns but the bark inclusions almost make it more trouble than it’s worth. This one turned out well though. 11” wide.

9” pedestal bowl. This one is very lightweight due to being just about 1/8” thick.

Mesquite root ball bowl with forest green epoxy. This one was a challenge. 10” wide.

Rare example of a mesquite bowl of mine which required no epoxy. 12” wide.

All wood massive 16” mesquite bowl with a couple very pretty bark sections.
