>Hey Bill,

As usual a great piece of work. Your talent is truly an inspiration to my son and I who are just beginners, (1 year). Keep it up.

>Another good one Bill. Is just the picture, or is the finish on the outside different from the inside? Looks like you did a good job filling the holes. I am not seeing them anywhere.

I appreciate your sharing with us. With all the talk about thin, are you finding that your 1/4" bowls are selling better than the whisper thin ones?

>Nice natural edge Bill. I was turning a natural edge the other day, and I was wondering if you ever did get to do that one you were talking about. That cherry has distinct lines from the white and red which makes it outstanding.

Very cool

>Bill,

Nice work there!

I'm really surprised it didn't sell.

See ya around,

>Nice job, Bill. I have the most trouble with the shallower profiles like this -- as the edge gets a little more vertical, there is a smaller profile (width) of exposed bark, and they seem to give me less grief. Sharp looking bowl -- I'm sure you'll sell it soon, unless you decide to keep it on the dining room table.

Safe spinning,

>Normally I am not a fan of natural edge bowls. However, the view looking down swayed my opinion here. I really like the grain on this one. Keep it up Bill and I will have to try one.

Doug, the finish is the same inside and out, so it must be the lighting. I was in the photo store today to buy a new roll of seamless paper (neutral grey this time), and so I broke down and bought the expensive plastic diffusers for my lights. I am sick and tired of monkeying around with a tent, which only gets dirty in my shop when I am not using it. Hopefully my pictures will improve some.

As far as thin goes, 1/4" is thin! ;-) Many of my bowls this size would be closer to 1/2" at the rim, although they taper down a bit through to the bottom. I do have an oak bowl of approximately the same size I need to get some good pictures of, and it is only about 5/16" throughout, but people really like the thicker ones.
