The flow of a line

"It never ceases to amaze me how, over thousands of years, generations of potters, metalworkers, and glassblowers all over the world have gravitated towards similar bowl forms." said Richard Raffan in one the few woodturning books he wrote. They are good references.

My bowls - sycamore, oak, ash, jarrah, ash.

Over the past year, Ralph Curry has been teaching me woodturning. It's a practise I could not imagine learning in nicer conditions. Ralph built his lathe - this one and others - years ago and turned bowls for daily use that found home everywhere in the country.
In my point of view he achieves the simplicity of curve, and THIS IS SOMETHING, pfffew!!!

A ma bonne étoile qui m'a menée à cet homme, cet endroit, ce tour
