This bowl is made from American Black Walnut. I cut out a equilateral triangle and carfully centred it on a screw chuck shaped the outside and the underside of the wings. reverse chucked in a scroll chuck skimed the wings and turned the bowl inner, reverse chucked again this time in the cole jaws to finish the foot.
The whole thing was sanded on the lathe to 400grit, removed from the lathe and marked out for piercing. I used a dremel with a fine diamond burr to do the piercing followed by more sanding to 400 grit to remove any stray wood fibres.
Finish is Danish oil.
Measurements are 6" along each edge stands 1 3/8" tall the wings are 1/8" thick
