Bowls
For me, a simple and well designed bowl is a true test of skill.  I strive to create pieces that can be described with the adjective of “elegant”.  If I can present a piece that has smooth lines and is well balanced in appearance, then I feel I have succeeded.  My alternative for elegance, is to turn a natural defect of the wood into a positive feature of the piece.  I will let you decide which is which.
