Just the latest batch for my upcoming show. Decided to use up some wood I had laying around and kept it simple.  I never seem to find the time to do the fancy stuff I have figured out in my head. 

 

Comments and critiques appreciated, as always.

 

 

 

The last of my cedar stash. Got a couple of large planks a few years ago for helping a guy load some of them on his trailer.

 

 

.40 Cal isn't the only one that can play with pecan. A little bit different layout of some nicely spalted pecan that I picked up a while back. Gonna have to get some more of this stuff!

 

 

These were made from a block of end grain mesquite I glued up but never got around to turning into blanks. Didn't think it was cut into small enough pieces for what I wanted it to look like. Apparently, I was wrong.

 

Thanx for looking.

Those are absolutely gorgeous!

^^^^ +1 to what Lew said ^^^^ Wowsers! 

Of Coarse I would like the mesquite. Is the top ring double width?

They are all great.  Nice tight glue lines on everything too.

Outstanding Headhunter!  Did you make all of those in a day?

Very nice bowls. Looks like they were right up your alley.

Thanx guys.

 

Gerald -  Not exactly double width but wide enough to give me a nice rim design. I cheat a bit on those. I put a perpendicular edge on the blank and then run a router around both faces to give it a decorative edge, then cut the rings.

 

Forty - The actual cutting and regluing of the rings was done in one day but processing the initial blanks and then sanding/finishing the completed bowls takes some time. I worked on these off and on for over a week. Too much of that life stuff getting in the way!

 

Gene - I thought I was the designated smart *&@ around here. That's the kind of comment I would make.   And when are we going to see some output from your Ringmaster? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

The craft show is next Fri - Sat - Sun if anybody wants to drive over and drop in.

Leftovers is what I always seem to end up with.  Keep hoping to sell out of inventory completely but haven't made it yet.

What are those?  Kinda like leftover bacon. Something that doesn't really exist!

And this is how you go from Designated smart *** to self proven Dumb ***.

 

I remembered that one of you chronologically advanced individuals here had a Ringmaster but hadn't gotten around to using it much yet. And, of course, I 'remembered'

the wrong one.  I'm headed to the corner now.

Don't worry.  I spent so much of my childhood in the corner that it's the only place I'm comfortable.

No problem. Although, at my state of chronical advancement related recall deficits, had me searching for that Ringmaster I must've misplaced.
