Boonie Bowls





While I have been printing, my husband has been turning bowls. He purchased a lathe this past fall and turned a couple of bowls. Since then he's found this a great pastime and he's become quite prolific. He's made bowls from walnut, spaulted maple, cherry, pine, and various burls. Each bowl is unique and the wood dictates what he makes. Some of his bowls have natural edges, while others have finished edges. The acorn was made from sumac. I'm always amazed at the different shapes, sizes, and colors that the turned bowls bring out.

  1. WOW! I am very impressed with the Boonie Bowls! I especially like the ones with the light-and-dark variegated (Is that the right word?) patterned wood. Is Boone selling these?

  2. Yes, he's interested in selling them. If he doesn't, our house will be overrun with Boonie Bowls.
