We had planned to go to Harrogate this year and stay with relatives and have a day at the show, like last year it was not
meant to be. These pieces were to take up with us for Tonys sister who wanted the to give as Christmas presents.
The oak is 21" and the Elm Rollover is 15"

Thank You Ed..... that's much appreciated........I know these pieces will

Very few people seem to dislike this type of turning, non turners seem fascinated by the contrasts in them. When they are quality work and design such as these then even marmite lovers would probably like them LOL.

Firstly,I like Marmite (can you see where I`m going with this ),I like both these pieces,the bottom one I tried to do something similar a couple of years ago,but my blank was 20" long and only 10" wide by 8" deep,so couldn`t get a continuous turned over rim like you`ve achieved on yours,yours looks much better than my effort did.How did you find the sanding on the underside,was it difficult or reasonable to sand in the dip and what approach did you use to do it,cheers,
Eric.
PS,oh the burrs on both look really good to.

Hi,
I like the first bowl, nice form and well turned with good finish.
I am not keen on the shape of the second bowl, but find the underside is more attractive than the top.

Just looks even better.....I have a stack of burrs to work on in the new year, don't do bowls as a rule but some like these would be fun.

Thank You .....Eric....When I first started turning I did a lot of roll overs as they sold very well. I am more than likely telling
you something you already know but just in case if you click on the green circle under georg it will take you to my site then
natural edge its not been updated for 2 years and its just a thought.
For sanding I use a power arbour on the inside so I can keep the edges nice and crisp. For the underside I use a couple of sticks
with sponge and Velcro these are used spinning and also with the piece still All sanding aids are home made
Hope this helps..... Tony

Two lovely bowls. I particularly like the Oak one.
-
You are most welcome Eric ...hope it helped.
Thank You Graham.... Its the elm for us only because its one of our favourite burrs
Pete..... Have Fun

Thanks for posting the extra photos. They do show the bowl better and the roll over is not as harsh as I first thought as th base lifts it off the surface.

After getting used to seeing the wonderful colaborations the two of you normally make and show us, it';s good to see something more like the simple forms from a single piece of wood you've created here.
The oak is beatiful but the elm makes me think of those water fountains where the water comes out sideways and forms the curved flow, really spectacluar.
-
Thank You ..... Ken...Photography is not our strongest point...... think we must try harder.
Thank You Bryan.......The Roll Overs have been called melting wood before now.......Your description of a water
Fountain is far better

I do so like the Elm, beautiful rich dark color, almost full burr given the size. It's not unusual to find them with even richer diverse colors, even a shade of green or purples, could be due to the location grown, not seen such a nice piece myself lately, that most don't make it pass hedge sticks, small size growth before they die again sadly.
The Oak such a stunning warm piece, elegant flowing from and soft color.
Can't fault either... as there ear marked as gifts .. no chance ..
Cheers David

Hi Tony & Di.
I like the Oak one but even though the Elm is a nicely executed piece I don't really like it. Probably because I have never been a fan of roll overs. I always think they look like dog bowls I'm afraid. Marmite indeed! :D :D :D
-
Thank You David...... Large Elms especially with burrs are as you say getting harder to find. The one used for this piece
was only a baby burr.... This photo is mummy bear I am waiting for someone who wants a rather large bowl its 42 inches

Thank you John... realise its not to every ones taste ... do like turning them though maybe its the Adrenaline Rush
They were made for my sister who is a bit older than me and about 60years ago I learned not to argue, that is unless
i wanted a clip round lughole, nowadays I do as I`m told ;D ;D
