From the same log as the hollow form above, this piece of curly ash was moments from the wood stove as the temperature dropped and available logs dwindled. Like the hollow form, it had been on the shelf, half turned, for years. The reason it was closer to the wood stove than a second chance on the lathe is it looked like a football. Wasn’t sure I could turn it safely, but glad I did.
Wow. You’re lucky that one didn’t explode on you.
Cool yarn bowl.
Got above 20° today, so I spent a little time in the shop roughing another black locust hollow form. This will be another in my series of little basket illusion pieces.
Oh boy. It is looking great.
Fun day in the shop. Roughing out a birch bowl along with this guys head.
Never thought of a human model as inspiration for a bowl or hollow form……hmmmmmm
Got kind of a rough finish on the head, may need some more sanding! 
Jack of all trades?
What is more fun, wood turning or giving a baldy sour?
(Same way my dad did it when we were kids)

Those are stunning! Really celebrates the wood. Not to mention the form. What are the bottom two in the 1st photo and all in the 2nd?
There is now an echo.
A buddy suggested I use a skew.
and a spinning chair
Got it beaded and drilled. Will hollow another day, hands too cold to go any further.
Three Walnut bowls done today. I won't post all the bowls I'm doing. But I am getting to the finishing side. Leaving next Sunday after Church for the Winter Worship and Workshop in Pigeon Forge. We will be having a booth.
That’s some nice looking walnut.
