Wormy Persimmon Bowl
Two shots of a wormy persimmon bowl. It took hours with a small pick to clean the sawdust compacted in the cavities.

Show Bowls
A few bowl turning pictures as I have been producing for a part in a few shows this fall.
Below is a stack including walnut, persimmon, ash, cypress and two elm species.
A few more added from above on the workbench, the same species as above with the addition of a few crab-apple.

A few blow-ups from experimenting with the grind on a smaller bowl gouge.
Wooden Bowls at the Onion Tree
Thanks to Bridgit Yinger, the Onion Tree in Wichita, Kansas is now carrying some of my bowls for sale.
Osage Orange Bowls
Here is an osage orange, or hedge bowl. It developed a small crack in the sapwood during drying.
Another osage bowl in various stages on the lathe.
Bald Cypress Bowl and More

Same bowl on the bench.
A few other shop pictures…
A white oak chair leg for a repair job, being bent in a form. The leg was turned and bent while green. You can see my first failed attempt.

Little Persimmon Bowl
Here is a pretty (I think) little persimmon bowl, turned green. The rim is grey as a result of the blank being sealed with wax for a few months before it was worked. My guess is the moisture being trapped against the surface of the wood- which shed its cellular moisture first (the interior retaining it’s cellular moisture, ie green), and therefore “weathered” grey. The bowl has also distorted as it has dried.
Three-legged Ash Stools and Bowls
Here are two different 3-legged stools, in Green Ash.
This one has a handle, like a milking stool.
An Ash plate, bowl, walnut bowl, and a small persimmon dish.

A small bowl turned from green persimmon wood back in september. It has distorted as it dried.
