Great work, Quartlow! 8)  I admired your website earlier today. Your skill on the lathe is obvious, but your talent for seeing what's inside the wood and bringing it to the eye is what makes your work art.  Thanks for sharing. :)

Very nice design!  I like that. The maple looks like it's flamed.  I reckon that bowl hinges on being a segmented bowl. That should sell well.  What did you finish with?

Thanks Dan, But I have to admit I just do what the wood tells me. As for my skill level, well would you believe I just started doing this a little over 2 years ago. What I do isn't that much differant than you guys getting great lumber out of a saw mill. You have to be able see inside the log before you start cutting.

Charlie. This is the second one i did along those lines. I have pics of one that I did out of curly ash with walnut stripes. I'll have to root around on the puter and find it after work today.

Thsi one has 3 coats of watco danish oil on it. It then got 2 light coats of deft semi gloss, then I apply johnsons paste wax with 0000 steel wool and  buff it off before it drys.
