Very very nicely done. You are a class act Mr. Cello :thumbsup: :) Congratulations to the winners - enviable and life time use prizes you are getting there. I knew I was out as soon as I saw the empty mixed nut container. If it had been whole unsalted cashews I woulds have been completely in synch and a sure winner - alas...:(

:D Cheers all.

Very well done, Dan. :):thumbsup:
Once again, your bowls are fantastic!
Congratulations to all the winners. :cool::thumbsup:
 
A wonderful and fun giveaway, Dan. Those bowls are beautiful! Love the violin music.
Congratulations to the winners!
:cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
Thanks! I'm really excited to see what I wind up with! All of the bowls are INCREDIBLE! Thanks so much and HAPPY THANKSGIVING to everyone! Be Safe!
 
Dan, I would gladly choose the Opinel garden model.

Bowls, all look great. I'll take the lighter bowl with dark lines (ambrosia).

Thanks a bunch!!
 
Sorry I missed out on this Dan...how did That happen? Ah well.
I joined the Narooma Mens Shed last year and met some skilled tradesmen and guys who make stuff. Also made friends.
Ive not only learned a lot but had the opportunity to have a go at things I always wanted to try but never seemed to have the time or equipment...theres a lesson right there....do it!
Anyway I chopped down a 50yr old Olive tree for a lady. I took the timber and tried a bit of turning...as it was still green it cracked...the good news is Ive still got some big chunks seasoning away under the hoose.

Great job Dan, and congratulations to the winners! Amazingly, the jet stream seems to have brought us incredible warmth down from Canada this year.:)
 
Tremendous draw, very creative all round and I see a Cool Siamese in there :cool:

Those bowls are superb, you should start manufacturing.....:)

Hi meako, sorry you missed the chance on this one my friend.
I remember you mentioning a while back about the olive wood you had gotten and wood turning.
The seasoned wood should be good for smaller turnings :thumbsup: but I never tried it myself.

I once brought a ton of apple wood from someone that had cut a tree in his backyard.
I found out later that apple wood is notorious for cracking and finally gave up trying to turn it.
It burns very nice and hot though with a sweet smell :D
 
Thanks so much every one for the kind words, I really appreciate them.

The Porch is indeed a welcoming and friendly place :thumbsup: :)

Here is a little video of a younger self ( about 10 years ago ) doing a live edge bowl.

I mostly self taught myself with you tube's help lol so some of the techniques shown are not optimal let's say ;).
(I did get very useful feedback from experienced turners whom I showed it though :thumbsup:)
