Pine Bowl Glamour Shots

The pine bowls are looking good.  Especially when photographed by Kim Brock who took these shots when she was visiting from Grand Rapids, Michigan last week.  We'll be showing more of Kim's photos at the gallery show next weekend.

Sanding Day

Mark gave Bowl #71 a final sanding today.  Cut from the base of the tree it measures in at 22" across the top.  It was good to see Remy today, who put the finishing touches on Bowl #6.  Thanks Bob, Trudy, Donna, Jerry, John, Brian, Tim, Stacy Dan, Kini, Sue, and Tina for getting your bowls to us before the November 13th deadline.  They'll each have a special spot in the show.

Bowl Turners Sand for the Bowl Show

Ever try a circular sanding pad on a drill press for sanding bowls?  You can get these pads from 2Sand.com.  Mark's been using them to sand all of his bowls lately and finds they work especially well inside bowls.  

Sanding Discs and Holders


Tim & Donna spent the morning during Open Studio last week getting their bowls sanded and finished for the show.   We've heard back from lots of turners and are expecting a good turnout of both turners and bowls for the November 19th party.

Milk Paint Finish

Mark's been doing some experimenting with applying milk paints to a few of the pine bowls.  Here are the results so far.  Bowls 22, 33 and 35.  Here's the  link to the Real Milk Paints website if you want to read about the paints.
