I'm sure your right.The piece I have looks awful on the
outside,wormholes,ect. but inside its beautiful.
Those pieces on your site are quite impressive.
Thanks again for sharing.

Mac,
I asked my friends about bowl size pieces but they were told that if the
pieces were big enough they would be used for table tops.I bet they look
amazing.
What do make with ironwood besides pens?
Kevin


Are you sure that was Ironwood?
I've seen several mesquite tables, but not ironwood...
Mostly because in the Sonora desert, it's illegal to cut a tree down,
AFAIK, so
most pieces of ironwood have lots of holes and cracks. That makes it
really hard
to build furniture out of it..

I do mostly "wood art".... vases, bowl-like thingies, free forms, etc..
a few examples are on my main page:

Someday, I'll get the gallery up.. sigh
