Looks very nice 👍

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thanks! I appreciate that 👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Looks great, Luie! That bit of bark really sets off the rest of the piece. Good job! 😃 Phil

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thanks Phil!! I really wish more of the bark would of stayed on…..but we can’t always control that.

Natural is a great design. Congratulations

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thank you so much👍

Another beautiful bowl. 👍😃Thanks Luie 😊

Thank you !

Always interesting ❤

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thanks I appreciate you 👍😎

[@ThePapa1947]

Sure is a cool looking piece Luie. The colors are great and so much to see with all those knots in there. I think filling that crack was a good choice. It looks pretty natural. Also just enough bark to tease your eyes and thoughts of what it looked like growing where it did. Great work, Gary

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thank you for your kind words👍

[@jackthompson5092]

Well done Luie.luv the bark bit. Beautiful nowl

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thank you so much 👍😊😎

[@RDMWoodturning]

You've managed to give the bowl that extra bit of a wow, by keeping that section of bark on. Love the finish!

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thank you so much!

[@MarkMcCluney]

I was concerned that it was turning out rather heavy, a bit too chunky but in the final pictures it actually looks very handsome and the remaining bark sets it off extremely well. As always Luie, a wonderful piece of work. Thanks for showing us how it's done.

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

It definitely is on the chunky side Thanks for commenting 👍

[@bruceobrien2862]

You amaze me Luie. Nice job

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thank you so much Bruce!

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Crotch wood always expressive if you expose the “feather” grain. Looks like you have been learning a trick or two from Phil! 🤪 As to the crack: Starbond has a brown C.A. that I like using when I don’t want the crack to be a feature. It is very golden and blends in seamlessly on most woods. Hope he enjoys the bowl, and looking forward to seeing you turn more of it.

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thank you! As I was applying the black CA I was thinking to myself I need to order some brown CA😂

[@TheMessyStudio]

Beautiful grain in that, Luie! And the natural edge looks cool! Great job!

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thank you Billy!

Nice job. Never thought willow was good for anything.

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Hmm all wood is good for something 👍😊😎

Beautiful bowl Luie

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thank you Dave!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

That is astonishing Luie and it was just like watching Phil. That small amount of bark makes the piece for me. I absolutely sure your friends will love it. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw PS I was already subscribed to Mclass11

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thank you! I can’t say that Phil isn’t rubbing of on me.😊 he is an amazing turner I can only wish to be half as good as him some day!

[@MoleValleyMaker]

Looks good Luie. A fairly tricky piece to turn and finish but worth it.

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thank you it was fun I enjoyed it!

[@ultrawoody1968]

Nice one Luie......its called twisted willow here.....❤

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thanks I never heard of it before he gave me some👍

[@rickchapman3051]

Looks great. Hard to beat Howard feed and wax.

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thank you ! I like it for uneven projects like this 👍

[@stuartscott9646]

Yep. I'm with Phil.

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thank you so much👍

[@clydeschuyler]

That did turn out great. Being able to keep all those characteristics is great. My only worry about NOT filling the crack would be a possible increase in the size of the crack.

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Thank you My thoughts too

[@waltwhybrewwoodworking]

Nice
