Andy, although I didn't look at all of your previous gallery offerings to check, it looks like the the way you've handled the base block of wood might be done a little differently than you've done in the past. This "dipping" into the wood here adds a little more "dimension" to the eye appeal of your beautiful laminated bowls.

Great look! :)

odie: you are correct, the last few turnings I have tried to add a little more interest to the the "base block". Thank you for your comment.

Andy, your patterns, wood selections (colors), and technique are all excellent ... and your philanthropy is very commendable.

As Odie mentioned (and you), the additional turning of the base block adds more interest. However, IMHO I think if you continued the curve of the interior on the base block (like a shallow bowl) and not drop off so abruptly (like a swimming pool) would be a more preferable option. Does that make sense?

Also, the reverse curve of the exterior form leads to a very large footprint. IMO, the foot/base could be 1/3 (or more) smaller by continuing the curve of the form. I don't know for sure, but I have a feeling that reverse curve was dictated by your holding method (chuck, faceplate).

Just my 2¢ :) ... and, I hope you take these comments in the spirit they were given.
