Bowlnest

Larry Hancock; Ardmore, OK

>This turned out to be my Easter project this year. I was asked to turn some small pieces for friends to take to a craft show so I turned some eggs. I needed something to hold the eggs so I grabbed an old unfinished bowl from a pile and threw wood shavings form the eggs in to make it look like a nest. It seems to be popular because I have more of them to make. This bowl is ambrosia maple, 6" in diameter and 3" deep. The shavings are from madrone bowl I was turning. The eggs are maple with texture and color.

>Hi Larry, they look like a good set of Easter projects. I think the wood shavings are very fitting as the nest material.

Thanks for posting
