In looking at the how to pics, I noticed a HF 34706 lathe in the background. Assuming this was turned on that lathe, this is proof positive that the skill and talent of the craftsman is far more important than the tool. used in creating a work of art. Unfortunately, a lot of folks apparently don't understand that.
Really nice work!!! Did any body else notice that there were TWO(2) bowels in the pictures???? The first picture was a different one from the rest. It has a thicker top band and a very different curve. Is the first one a practice piece?

So Did you turn all the wood inside? I mean I saw this article about a guy cutting out the middle of his pieces to be able to make more bowls from the material?
Thanks for posting such a beautiful piece!
Well done, nice job not smearing the Bloodwood into the Holly during finishng. Any tricks to pass along on that front?
Superb work, David! It is a beautiful design and skillfully crafted. I am intrigued by the center of the bottom -- is the perfect two-wood circle just a deeper cut into a final layer above the dovetail joining them? If not, then it looks like a circular pair was inlaid. A stellar gift, for sure.
Yes, unfortunately! there is 6 bd ft in there at a cost of about $65! the majority is now in the compost!!
