Well, again I procrastinated, but here are my June Turnings. Look forward to some beautiful turnings out of Aspen from my Grandpa Yates' cabin. They are gorgeous!
This bowl is out of Box Elder and is about 4" in diameter. I added some coves on the outside as well as the bottom. The coves on the outside were my first attempt at adding color to a bowl other than natural colors. I had some problems trying to sand out the extra paint so it's still a work in progress.
This bowl is about 6" in diameter and is made of Box Elder. It contains some decorative design on the outside of the bowl and a little hollowing out of the base.
This bowl is made from Box Elder and is about 3" in diameter with some artistic designs on the outside, the rim, the inside, and the bottom of the base.
This is a very different piece. It was originally a bowl but I got a little too thin in the bottom, as you can see by the gaping hole in the bottom. This can be whatever you'd like! It's about 3 1/2" in diameter and made from Box Elder.
This bowl is approximately 5" in diameter. It including some artistic designs including coves and beads. (Found around the base and the middle of the outside and the inside rim.) I had the opportunity to go to a demonstration by Richard Raffan, a very prominent turner in the world. He recommended doing such things to dress up bowls. This is my first try at coves and beads.
This turning is created out of Box Elder wood. It is a platter with approximately 8" in diameter. The underside is hollowed out so it can be turned upside down and still serve a purpose.
