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.

Nice! This does not look like amateur work to me!?!? You guys are making it hard to stay away from the "dark side".

Re: What an amateur can do on rainny Sunday

Beautiful work Scott, I'd agree with everyone else that it's far from amateur.

Nicely done. Great woods and they came out well.
I knew you'd come a ROUND eventually
Looks like you are well into the swirl. Just don't let that scroll talent get rusty ( as if)...
Keep up the great work my friend.

Way too pretty for use as a cereal bowl, Scott.

Great bowls, Scott
You need to quit practicing so much. You'll intimidate everyone to the point of not posting unworthy work...

So when are you going to let that amateur rank go? Those bowls look great, Scott!
