Well, the pics were supposed to line up and go with the descriptions but they didn't. Sorry about that. Guess you all can figure out which each are. If not ask. Thanks for looking.

Looking good, Sam. What are you finishing the bowls with? What is the insert in your round box?

 

[Sam Knight]

Thank you Raymond. On the bowls I used a butcher block finish bought at Lowe's and the insert is just some jade-like piece I found at Jo-Anne's I believe.

Those bowls look great.
Especially like the spalted bowls.
I've only had one piece where the spalting was such a uniform pattern

Nice

They look great, and hope you had a lot of fun in the process.
