I think I am addicted

[Dalboy]

I think I must be addicted to the workshop I am spending too mush time in there and enjoying every minute.

Any way three more bits from my shed. All three are from some beech I got when I went to Faversham to collect something from freecycle as I was driving to collect I spy three people cutting down a tree, so on the way back I stop "Excuse me" I said "Yes" was the reply "what are you going to do with that lot" "burn it on a bonfire". Well to cut a story short two rather large chaps run across a very busy road and load my estate up full of the logs. The car did moan a bit. It cost me a bowl which I was very happy to do.

Anyway below are three bowls from them logs. Working from largest to smallest sizes are 9 1/2" X 2", 6" X 2" and 5 1/4" X 2". Also a side view of the larger one.

Dalboy,

Lovely bowls & nicely photographed. Nothing like free timber.

No such thing as too much turning time!! Absolutely ridiculous proposition!!

Like the results of your labours. Simple and elegant pieces!!

Dalboy,

After another look at your photos, I thought they were a bit cold looking. I downloaded one, put it into Picasa, and warmed it up a bit. See below.

Picasa is a free program to file adjust photos: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picasa

I'm a retired commercial photographer and use Picasa. It is easy to use and does what I need. I have used Photoshop 6 years ago but the current versions are too expensive for my budget, and I only used about 10% of the capability.

Thank you for that Paul I already use Picasa but sometimes get lazy and just photo it and post it which I did here

Nice set of bowls.

And I agree no such thing as spending too much time in the workshop.
