Was impressed with a recent build from a Facebook site, which featured a Wooden Bowl build very similar to the one on the far left of this lot, they been have stashed away and neglected in the shed for a few years now, so finally dug them out today, they were all purchased in the early days of my ongoing CBG addiction!, when I couldn’t walk past a Charity Shop, or walk out without buying something, like these lovely Bowls, which ranged in price from $2.50 to $4, don’t know which one to use first, or start the whole lot together.PS; Uncle John, do you have any Build Stop left in your Pawn Shop, I think I’m in need of a 44 Gallon Drum of the stuff! :-D

Your spot on Dave!, there is no remedy for the CBG building addiction, I thought I would slow down after build #400, but as you say, the urge returned stronger than ever. ;-D
Don’t rely on Build Stop. It works for a while, but the building urge comes back stronger than before. COVID might be the only way to stop. But then there’s harps and lutes to make in Heaven. ...
"Thanks Keith", did use a similar Camphor Wood bowl to the one your referring to, a few years back, for a 5 String Banjo, as per the pic!, not sure if any of these will end up as a Banjer, probably just 3 String CBG type builds of some sort. :-)
AGP, those are all some beautiful bowls. The second one would make a very nice banjo, just saying, but the others would too. Doesn't need to be a 5 string one either. But will sure be watching and liking, what ever you build with them.
"Thanks UJ", good word Plethora, but don't try and pronounce it after a few Beers, and cancel the Build Stop, I've given up all hope of ever stopping to build Gits, however!, I am running out of places to put them, will either have to use that dirty word Cull, or build another Shed, will probably go with the latter option :-D
"Thanks Denbo",started with the one on the far left yesterday, listed here as Acacia, but after giving it a bit of a dust off, discovered a little mark on the bottom, which read "Rose Wood", a timber I've never worked with before, it's definitely much harder than Acacia. :-D
Some wonderful finds and Dennis gives us the word for the day.
Dave, I am taking Build Stop at high doses. Dennis did a cull of instruments and I need to do the same and quit building for a while. I say that and mean that, but at the same time, I have one started hoping it will be a good Christmas gift.
