Walnut Bowl, No. w354 Here is a really wonderful walnut bowl for a centerpiece.  I made a similar one about 2 yrs ago and sold it to a man from the Pocono Mtns in eastern Pa. This one comes from the same tree and is all heartwood. The wood grain in walnut is very calming, at least to me. It is very refined, elegant comes to mind. Anyway, I first turned this on April 19, '09 and it is now ready for consideration.  The dimensions are 15" diameter by 3.5" height.  There is some kind of knot like material primarily on the outside of this bowl. Inside it is just an oval spot on the side. For its size, this bowl is not heavy.  The finish is pure Tung Oil followed by numerous sprayings of spar urethane followed by extremely fine sanding to give this bowl an ultra smooth finish.                                                                                             $258 Price includes shipping and insurance but not tax, where applicable.
Walnut Bowl, No. w357 I just do not like to throw away a piece of wood that has the potential to be a bowl, especially when it is walnut wood. This pedestal bowl is an example of what you can do with a relatively narrow piece of wood, in this case with a good diameter.  This piece is from the outer circumference portion of a tree trunk. There is some sapwood on the underside of this bowl and a little bit on the top portion of the bowl.  Additionally, it has some non dark brown wood material also on the top portion of the bowl. One can view these characteristics in the photos.  Otherwise, it was rubbed with pure Tung Oil, sanded; sprayed with spar urethane and sanded with numerous types of sanding material and it now has an extremely smooth surface.  The dimensions are: 13.5" diameter by 3" height. The pedestal is nearly 6" in diameter, tapering to 3.5". The pedestal rises 1.5" before spreading out to the 13.5" diameter. Hope that is clear to everyone. If not, do not hesitate to ask a question.                                                     $156 Price includes shipping and insurance but not tax, where applicable.
Walnut Bowl No. w382 Here is an extremely smooth surfaced pedestal type of bowl. Not sure when I turned it, but it was in early 2009, and during the drying period, the bowl distorted nicely along the top edge and in the diameter of the opening. Really ideal for sweets, holiday items or just for decoration.  The dimensions are 6.75" diameter by 4.75" height. It is essentially all heartwood except for a bit of whitish sapwood on the outside of the bowl portion.  The finish is pure tung oil followed by numerous coats of sprayed spar urethane.  Special treatment gives it the extremely smooth finish.  $74 Price includes shipping and insurance but not tax, where applicable.
Walnut Bowl No. w362 This is one cool bowl. With different colors, densities, annual ring placement and other characteristics this bowl can truly be said to be one of a kind. There is even a little sapwood on the outside creating a good contrast between light and dark portions of the walnut.  Don't know exactly when I turned this but know it was in the first half of 2009.  This bowl measures 13.6" in diameter and stands 4" in height.  There is a nice proportional base elevating the bowl. The finish is pure Tung oil, followed by numerous spraying of spar urethane and then sanded to an extremely smooth surface.  This bowl really has some nice grain characteristics!  $238 Price includes shipping and insurance but not tax, where applicable.
Walnut Bowl, No. w324 Walnut wood must have some components in it that resist decay.  What I mainly find is walnut wood with worm holes and then nothing more in the way of decay.  This bowl, first turned on February 18, '09 has 4 small worm holes on the inside and 5 on the outside of the bowl. To protect the wood from water getting into the wood  from the holes, I add high density polyurethane to the worm hole and its woody medium so that it can be absorbed and seal the woody medium of the hole. Then I rub the whole bowl with Tung Oil, sand it and spray on many coats of spar urethane. This makes the surface and its holes protected so that it can be used as a salad bowl or other application.  Excellent for decorative purposes also, this bowl measures 15.25" diameter by 4.24" height. Large bowls are a real challenge to make!  $242 Price includes shipping and insurance but not tax, where applicable.
Walnut Bowl, No. w323 I have noticed that walnut does not decay as does maple and other hardwoods. There are occassional worm holes in the wood but the total breakdown of the wood cellulose just doesn't occur. There must be an agent in the heartwood that deters decay.  I have a few walnut bowls with worm holes and this bowl is one of them. On this bowl, one hole/slice looks like it was from a chain saw but upon closer examination, it wasn't. On the underside of this bowl there is a V shaped hole parallel to the table surface that goes into the wood about 3-4", without exiting anywhere!  This bowl, turned on January 6, '09 is 14" diameter by 3.25" height. There is a 0.5" high base on which the bowl sits. Finished as I do most of my bowls, Tung Oil, followed by spar urethane, this bowl will be a nice conversation piece and a good place for fresh fruit.  $169 Price includes shipping and insurance but not tax, where applicable.

Walnut Piece No. w88 This is one of my early 'artistic' pieces,so early that it doesn't have a date on it! I would guesstimate that I turned this in Nov-Dec,'06. I know the flat portion on the side came from where the limb was sawed from the tree. This very masculine piece,to me, doesn't need much in the way of description, because 'a picture is worth a thousand words'. The dimensions are 8.25" diameter x approximately 7.25" height. It is 1.25" thick at the top and the opening is 3.7"deep. It weighs approximately 5.5 lb..  $178 Price includes shipping and insurance but not tax, where applicable.	Sold, 11/5/09
