#1 | | Recent turnings Name: Ed City: Charlotte State: NC County: Mecklenburg Join Date: Apr 2006  11-16-2007, 07:02 PM
A friend of mine is turning 60 today and I made this pen for her. It is ambrosia maple with a purpleheart CB. 
Also had a piece of sapele I decided to take another stab at a bowl. I dyed the rim with a black sharpie and wiped it back with DNA.  
Didn't want you guys to think I forgot how to make things spin! | | Views: 398 | |

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools. 
Heard from a client..."If I had your tools and experience...I could do it myself"

Thanks guys!
Bowls are fun, but I really need to get the right tools!
Dave, no soup bowls, but when this one was finished it looks a lot like an offering plate. I'll have to bring it along for the next get together so I can pass it around!  Maybe I'd get enough for a real bowl gouge!  | |

Great job on both pieces.
I have been using sharpies to dye my corn cobs since I started making them 3 years ago.
I don't know if it is the angle the piecture is taken at but the lower section of the pen seems a little large.This would be a good thing if your friend suffers from arthritis.
The execution of the CB on the pen is excellent!
Looks like a nice finish also. | |

The bowl is really very nice work. The turning is good, but I like the form most.
