Bowls
Like every woodturner, I love making wooden bowls. I find their natural curves very attractive. I tend to make their walls rather thin, sometimes to the the point of impracticability, but usually the result is a decorative object that can be used everyday. As you can see, my approach is rather minimalistic with little decoration or ornamentation.
The wooden bowls I make vary in size from 20 to 500 mm in diameter.
