Roger Felps started off with two square edged bowls of Ambrosia Maple that took a long time to dry. One has a rim that rolls all the way down to the base of the bowl. He quipped “it was hard to bend in that shape”. Vern Hallmark has finally gotten his Locomotive Bank to his satisfaction. Of Walnut, Maple, Poplar, Pine and Ebony it is a joy to behold. Tom Canfield showed a Lidded bowl of Maple and Dyed Poplar. He used dark blue shoe polish for the dye to good effect.
Ken Morton showed an attractive little practice
bowl of Big Leaf Maple with a hole that was a bark indention. Harold Dykes
asked if members could guess the source of the bowl on the left. It was
Willow and the one on the right is mulberry with great sprayed lacquer
finishes. George Taylor showed a work-in-progress. It wil be the top of a
Beads of Courage bowl and is of Poplar, Bubinga and Turquoise.
