really good shape jim the only thing that stands out to me is the walnut sections that make up most of the bottom half of the bowl , i think a different kind of wood could be inlayed instead of all 1 wood and the first pic it makes the segments look like bricks to me , but still bloody nice and i dont have the time or bloody paitence to even think attemping that

Hello Jim, Happy to see you didn't waste any time getting back to the woorkshop, and what a beautiful result, Congratulation,

Cheers Tony.

Brilliant work as always Jim. Nothing wrong with putting the cart before the horse sometimes - I've got the slickest looking lid I made for a form a couple of years ago that just didn't suit the intended piece. One day I'll get round to making a form that works with it.

I see where you're looking at this one - bit pointy round the midriff like a lot of blokes our age - put it on a low table where the profile won't show as easily

You mean telling you it was a winner wasn't enough

Ok profile
Like the overall shape and design with the recessed handle and bridge shaped of same.
Now did you put a thread on it?
If so this would detract as its a time waster to get to the cookies, lollies, money.

Nice piece

Nice one Jim, shape is just fine with the usual superb glue lines

Some interesting comments, thanks for taking the time. Not sure I agree with Vern though..
Jim

Jim

nice work as always
I like the shape and form

I wonder whether a whitish stripe (?) up the middle of the handle would get the punters wondering how you hollowed it out

Did wonder about your post description - I was envisaging something larger for the outhouse

Nick there is another bowl on the way and it has a light stripe in the middle of the handle.
And, it is too small for the outhouse

Bueatiful work
