Nothing fancy but I practiced my turning skills today. The flat dish was a piece of elm I had. The bowl was a piece of maple I had gotten from WOODMAN2K as part of a trade. Finish on both are BLO and Wood Turner's Finish.

Scott,
Those pieces are really sweet. Almost makes me want to put on my sunglasses and go to the dark side. .gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)") So much to learn ... so little time.

Nice work Scott, I do believe that you have graduated from just amateur status to at least intermediate
