Gift bowl and a few others.... - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

bearfretworks · 02-21-2009, 03:55 PM

Our area got hit with some impressive winds last summer when a "twister" almost touched down...... I helped some folks from church clean up their yard and got about 1 1/2 cords of firewood for my trouble. This bowl is turned from a piece of elm that the wife's father planted back in 1915 or so............. I think they'll like it.

8 1/2 x 3 1/4....sanded thru 800 on inside, wire brushed on outside. Walnut oil finish, no buff.

Walnut from my free tree score a few months ago.....the sap is sooooooo white!
6 3/4 x 2 3/4 Walnut Oil finish.

And some more Hackberry..... Sanded thru 800 on inside, outside wire brushed AND with no bottom.....it wobbles but don't fall down!

5 1/2 x 2 1/2 Walnut Oil finish........

All your bowls look nice! I really like the walnut bowl the best. The wood is just beautiful.

Love that walnut bowl. They are all excellent turnings but from you I would not expect anything less. You do wonderful work. Thanks for showing us. Steve

Great work on all. I have to agree with Dragyn...the sapwood really sets the walnut bowl off.
