Our Patriot Turners- @Headhunter posted some of his gorgeous bowls in our Ringmaster Subforum.

This is what he started with- Check out his post to see the finished piece!!! @RustyFN showed us a neat segmented bowl he turned as part of his club's challenge. Rusty always comes up with amazing items for these contests! In his post, he tells us a little more about this item- We all thought Rusty's basket weave illusion vase was incredible. Well, so did the folks at the art center where it was displayed!!
