Amazing stuff

I was in a friend's shop today for the first time in a couple years. When I had last talked to her she said I could bring in my stuff to display and sell if I wanted. I never did take her up on her offer. Which is a GOOD thing!

Today while waiting to talk to her I browsed her shop and found these

After looking at his stuff, I realize even with ALOT of work, my stuff is second rate fireplace kindling!!

I so admire the things people create. Just so you know, the second piece has the design of each panel through the bowl.

Be well,

Wow, those are amazing! And from the price tags, not inexpensive. Still, if I tried to make segmented turnings that complex, I'd be lucky to make $0.50/hr. at those prices. Perhaps the maker prepares several identical bowls at a time to save on setup time - I sure would.

Expensive? Yep! Underpriced? You betcha!

Problem is if you ain't tried to make stuff like that you ain't gotta clue as to the skill/time/imagination/$ required to do so.



Regardless they are gorgeous(I word I do not use often).
