These are some of my latest round works, been spending some time on a toy box/ blanket box for my new grand daughter so spinning time has been limited. The Cedar bowl was an experiment,:rolleyes: scap 2x4 with purpleheart inserts, couple of coats tung oil 6.75" 4.5". The small bowl is from a birch tree my neighbour had, as you can see the worms got it 4.75" x 2".:eek: The lidded box is from pallet wood, seems like maple:confused: 3" x 4"

I really like the segmented bowl, Mike. The purpleheart kinda looks like cat eyes. All three are good looking. :)

I really like this piece.
Symmetrical and yet very creative.

I really like them all especially the cedar bowl. Using 2x4 scrap is such a cool idea too. Good job.

Well Senior...you could use a mortising tool.....or a drill and then insert a tenon or a dowel.....
Glue them up and turn them.
That's just a guess on my part I have not read Malcolm's book or the Ray Allen book yet. But I did sleep in my own bed last night!:rolleyes:
