Little Elm Bowls

[Cliff]

Turned 'em  set 'em aside to dry and the little buggers went  all changeling on me

 

Too cute for them to be too ugly or sumpin'

Well, I like 'em. Probably be able to sell them for a higher price because of the "artistic value"

They did squiggle up on you.  They still look fine.  A lot of turners turn wet wood to finished dimensions and let the drying process reign.  Never tried it myself but intend to.

I know guys who always turn to finish green, just so the bowls will warp. It doesn't hurt them in the least and adds some character. Any time I am turning natural edge I take them to finish thickness  green. The just look better IMO. Nice work!

I'm like Lew...I like them...way cool...That's why you do this type of things is to end up with some one-of-a-kinds.

Appreciate you sharing Cliff.

[Chips N Dust]

I like them too. To me that is character AND makes them more of a One of a Kind item

When you do, be sure to leave yourself plenty of nice wide curves  for the finish sanding job. I found myself really  challenged trying to get my gear in the tight spaces.
