Popular Post phinds Posted August 4, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 I normally just do laminated bowls but lately have done some candle holders, both turned and non-turned, and some business card holders. Almost everything is still laminate. Here are some of them: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 And all along, I thought you only identified wood, not manipulate it. Well done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark J Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Again, nice stuff. You have a good eye on how to bring different woods together, and also how to use shape. There should be a good market for your work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I'm in the process of burning 60 of my bowls in the BBQ pit because I love making them and won't stop but they are seriously cluttering up the house. I have about 250 unsold ones laying about in boxes and on shelves and need to get rid of some of them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Paul, what a waste. I would be honored to own a couple of these bowls, prior to the char! Please send me two of them and pm me the charge and type of payment you prefer. I did the same with reindeer king! And I realize this is a creative love for you but time is money. I bet every lady in every senior citizen living facility would really like to have one to decorate their rooms. These guys don’t wilt over time like flowers and they might even have a tax rite off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 That's a great idea, Coop. Paul check with the American Association of Woodturners about donating to the Empty Bowls program. I don't know if it would be tax deductable, but it would be a way better fate than the grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
