The above link is to the Holland Bowmill website. If you look in the right hand column of the home page there is a video of the process they use to manufacture their bowls. I found their process very interesting. In particular their drying process and the fact they they really don't turn the bowls twice despite starting with green wood.
We are in Holland this weekend I'll be looking for their bowls while here to seed them for myself.
Sorry I'll be missing the May meeting tomorrow.

Jewelry Boxes by Tom Cadwalader
I thought I would post a few pictures of my most recent projects.
Both projects are lidded jewelry boxes. Both boxes are turned have a walnut bottom piece and a maple top. The knobs are both turned from walnut and one has a natural stone cabochons inset in the knob. The stone is a 25 mm ( 1" ) leopard jasper stone from Africa.
Both boxes are about 8 1/2 " in diameter and one is about 3 " tall and the other is more like 4"
The inside of the boxes are lined with a wine colored flocking material.

Summer projects
I havent been posting lately, but I have been turning.
Below are examples of using the coins we picked up in the National Park visitor center gift shops. While on out 7 week Southwest RV trip this spring we bought these coins at various parks we visited. I then found turning projects I could use them in.
The lidded box is about 5" x 2 1/2" and is turned from Mesquite and the inside is flocked.
The bottle stoppers are Mesquite and Cocobolo
