Sublime combination of wood choice (colours and textures)
I will give this sandwich approach a go.

Thank you Gabi, i enjoyed this one and was very pleased with the result

[@susanburrows5288]

Gorgeous! The spalting caught my eye in the thumbnail, it is so striking with the cedar next to it for contrast.

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks Susan this still sits on my side board, i was particularly pleased with this piece, i think your right it is such a nice contrast with the different woods

[@randyrockwell6136]

Beautiful bowl Steve! I really like your simple bandsaw jig for cutting circles ….. dry simple yet very effective 🇨🇱🤠

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks Randy, I was messing around with this idea and came up with this, it was only a rough prototype and i keep meaning to make something a bit smarter, but never seem to get around to it

[@87bwadman]

I really like your bowl blank jig. That's really cool. And the piece is beautiful.

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks Ben, I had that piece of wood kicking around in my workshop for ages and couldnt think what to do with it, was really pleased with the result

[@MarkThompson-ms5wn]

great job mate

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks Mark glad you liked it

[@MikeHolton]

Absolutely beautiful Steve, that's nicer than mine! I saw a good tip the other day to stop glued joints from slipping when clamped, just put a very small amount of salt grains at the ends of each joint and this stops it! Keep meaning to give it a try.

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks Mike, I guess they both have their charm, Thanks for the tip,. I haven't heard that one before i will give it a try

[@chrisgough2205]

Absolutely stunning - that one is definitely a keeper - unless a grandchild tells you otherwise? An excellent variation on a theme 🤩

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

No Chris Pete your right first off, this one is a keeper, i was extremely pleased with this one, it is quite a unique piece of wood

[@emgiwoodworks]

That mystery wood looks a lot like the Maple I have here. Great result! 😎

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks Emgi what ever it is it does look good
