Hello,
I`m sorry that I didn`t right the details, I had to try first if the pictures are coming out. The picture system here in the english forum is a little bid easier than in the german forum. I`m not any more owner of the two boxes, I sold them at a arts and craft market here in Germany, but they were both out of oak and the black one had an diameter of around 60mm and the other had around 80mm. The body of both were hammered (please correct me if I write something wrong for instance I don`t know if the word hammered is okay? I hit the wood with a hammer who had a pin on the point). The black one is stained and the other fumed.
The first bowl is out of oak and the same like the black box the size of the bowl is 168mm diameter and 115mm heights.
The other two bowls: the first one is yew, no more sizes because sold. The other one is oak fumed, diameter is 124mm, heights 102mm.
Woodturning I learned mostly from courses mostly english teachers and good (what else?) english books. The first book which impressed me most was the one from the late Tony Boase, Woodturning Masterclass. I bought it 1998, I turned already one year and was impressed what is possible. But I needed 6 years to open my brain for new things. Very often you start with salad bowls and when everybody of your related got a bowl and you get to here: thank you for your present, but would you please take it again back with you. We have already three. So that was the time where I had to think in a new way.
My favourite english woodturners are Ray Key and Marc Hankock.
That is first all.
Thanks again
Andreas
