 |  More turny spinny things .. A couple of bowls I finished at the weekend. The pictures don't quite do them justice the walnut one in particular - it has some beautiful figure and almost shimmers when it's tilted in the light. They're both about 7" diameter.

| Looking good Ian! I like the forms........ How thick are the walls? And bottoms man, bottoms. Show us pics of your bowl bottoms from time to time.

| You want to see his what? Those bowls look great, did you turn them green? I love the way walnut finishes. That reminds me I have a huge black walnut log in the garage somewhere that I sealed the ends on.

| Thanks for the comments Here you go Barry - I hadn't realised you were a bottom man ...  Walls of the walnut one are about 1/4 inch thick. The rim is a little thicker. The walls on the olive one taper from the rim to the base just under 3/8 to around a half - it's got a much "chunkier" feel. Rolf: no they weren't turned green - both blanks were dry when I got them.

| Those are beautiful Ian!! I so love turned stuff, especially with gorgeous grain in the woods. I love the picture of the bottom of the olive one. Chris

| Great turning there Ian. Gotta love walnut for both turning and finishing. This is one of the nicest things about lathe turning . No patterns required and we never ever see two identical pieces. Every single piece has a unique character all of its own. That is one of the many things that make turning such great sellers at craft sales. W.Y. |

| Very nice bowls. I rather like olives, with the way the colours change. Mediterranean Olive makes great skies, BTW I can't think of any woods I dislike, so your are doing well with all of your wood choicesTor
