BOWLS, PLATES, PLATTERS...

UPDATED 05.02.11
CHECK THIS OUT!!!!! WE WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN A 20 FOOT LONG CYPRESS BEAM!!! THERE WILL BE 16, 18 AND 22 INCH BOWLS UP TO 8 INCHES HIGH FROM THIS BEAM. ORDER YOURS AHEAD OF TIME, 3 ARE ALREADY SOLD AND ONLY ONE HAS BEEN TURNED SO FAR?


I HAVE RECENTLY OBTAINED MAPLE, MAGNOLIA AND PECAN THAT WAS ABOUT TO BE THROWN INTO THE LANDFILL, INSTEAD THOSE TREES ARE BEING MADE INTO ART, FUNCTIONAL BOWLS, AND OTHER ITEMS.

AND FINALLY, THERE ARE 2 TREES THAT WERE SALVAGED AFTER A NEW ORLEANS CHURCH  IN UPTOWN NEW ORLEANS BURNED DOWN, ONE A HUGE ELM TREE WAS MOSTLY EATEN UP THROUGH THE HEARTWOOD BY TERMITES, THE OTHER IS A WONDERFUL SMELLING CAMPHOR TREE.

YOU WILL FIND ANYTHING FROM RING DISHES TO POPCORN BOWLS TO LARGE SALAD BOWLS AND BREAD BOWLS ON THIS PAGE.. ALSO, THERE WILL BE OFF-CENTER TURNINGS, SOME WITH BASES UNDER THE BOWL, A SINGLE PIECE, NOT GLUED ON.
THEN THERE ARE THE BEADED OFF-CENTER BOWLS, THE HARDEST TO MAKE, AS THE PIECE IS ON AND OFF THE LATHE 4 TIMES AND IT IS NOT KNOWN UNTIL THE END IF THE PIECE  IS BALANCED CORRECTLY. ONCE DONE IT IS PLACED ON A FLAT SURFACE,  IF IT SITS FLAT IT'S PERFECT, IF NOT THEN IT'S FANCY FIREWOOD!
