bowl

Latest effort. Had terrible trouble with tear out at the bottom of the bowl but managed to get it all out in the end. Cheers Frederick (these were the correct way up pn my computer)

Tried to be adventurous with some colours. Far too hot in the workshop today. The inside of the bowl is not bigger that the outside this time :banana::funny:

Natural edged bowl made this a little chunky. Turned from Ash and while turning it found two nails in it which I managed to get out without wrecking my tools. Finished with acrylic sander sealer and satin lacquer. Measures 5 1/2" X 3".

A natural edge bowl in Ash - from the same tree as the other one. You can just about see the stress line. Finished with Chestnut Wax Oil - and I'm still getting to grips with using it co's it can be an absolute pain! Diameter is 195mm and internal depth 50mm to highest point of the wall. As...

Nice piece of Ash, turned a few weeks ago, finished with oil. Diameter is 195mm, 30mm internal depth. Split runs through to the back and is just visible in the bottom of the bowl. Must have been a very stressed tree! As always, C&C please. Thanks, Chriscb

A little different ... Kevin :banana:

A second bowl from my London Plane stock, the grain on the blank was fantastic so I kept that on the flat rim otherwise, I would have lost it. It also was fading away on one side so I put that where the thinner part of the rim is. two burnt lines to highlight the rim and the bowl edge. I also...

This Yew bowl was turned last week and then given three coats of Danish Oil and then left to dry today I finished it off by giving it a Buff. It measures 7 1/2" X 3"

Yew bowl turned today, decided to leave this one chunky. Finished with sander sealer and carnauba wax buffed on the Chestnut buffing system. Measures 10 1/2" X 3"

Two sheds full of blanks and still can't find one of the right type of wood or correct sizes that I want. There must be over 200 blanks either bowl or spindle this is going to break my heart as I just may have to go and buy some unless I can get some sycamore

Took a day of from pens today and knocked this little Ash bowl up to auction tonight for our veterans

Good day ladies and gents. I hope you all had a good Christmas and I wish you all the best for '19. DIY friction polish....hmmm. Decided I'd try and make my own so I trawled the trusty youtube and found exactly what I needed. Now I'm not one to take the word of the first person I see /...

What Finish would you recommend for a bowl that has a lot of holes/cracks/imperfections?

I had to top the Fruit Bowl up ready for Christmas

Morning all, Well here goes, be gentle with me :funny: These were my 2nd and 3rd attempts at woodturning. I made them a year or so ago and I thoroughly enjoyed making them. I must confess I was a bit nervous at first as I'm very unsteady on my feet but Kelvins lathe is a big floor standing...
