I was going to colour this one but didn't have the heart. I think the wood is Ash.

I quite like this one; plain but strangly inviting.

Cheers

A nice flowing bowl Frederick. I like it no evidence of tool or sanding marks top job.

Ash always surprises with the grain what looks like a plain piece can produce some lovely grain.

It is hard to add colour to a bowl that you have spent time turning as many think that they could mess it up. Sometimes you just have to go for it. I take a long look at a piece before committing paints or stains to a piece.
