Decorated Cedar Bowl

[Scott Hackler]

I got a bunch of cedar a while back and this is the first finished turning from the score. I am going to give this to the fella who graciously gave me the cedar.

8 1/2" dia X 3" tall. Decorated with the Nova Ornamental Turner unit and topped off with Tung Oil Finish.

Comments and critiques are welcome!

Scott, I like this one much, much better than the box! Very nice treatment on the rim. Looks like a sub-vortex for you!

[Keith E Byrd]

Very nice - just the right amount of decoration!

[Richard Madden]

Very well done. With so many possibilities available that the OT can do, it's gotta be hard deciding what embelishments to choose. This one looks just right.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Scott that is a nice looking bowl. I do like the OT treatment on the rim.

[gary Zimmel]

Sweet rim treatment on this one Scott.

[Baxter Smith]

Very nice bowl Scott. Enough but not too much to dress it up!

[charlie knighton]

very nice....

[Donny Lawson]

Nice decorative trim. Is that hard to do?. I love working with Cedar.

[dan carter]

Looks like you are getting it figured out very nicely. Good job.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Very nice bowl Scott! Love the wood and also really like your detail work! Very clean and not overly ornate! The recipient is going to love it!

[Doug W Swanson]

Scott,

This just isn't fair. Now you are going to raise the bar that much higher for the next turning contest!

Nice subtle details that really add a lot to the bowl....

[Scott Hackler]

It was handed off to the new owner, today. He was thrilled and caught off guard. He didn't know that he was getting a gift. The smile on his face was worth the time involved. :)

[David E Keller]

Very cool! I love the embellishment, and the form is great too. I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with this ornamental unit.

[Bob Bergstrom]

Scott that Nova Ornamental Turner sure does a great job. Very nice bowl and beautiful carving job.

[Jim Burr]

This is a cool bowl Scott!! The rim treatment doesn't seem to affect the final outcome of the bowl though. With that rim, maybe a chatter tool would have been a different route. Box is my favorite!

[Dick Mahany]

Scott,

Great bowl, great gesture! I really like the embellishment as it is refined, simple, yet stands out as being special. Please keep pics coming as you continue developing the decoration effects !

[Roger Chandler]

That ornamental turner just adds a whole additional dimension to ones work. Great rim treatment. I think your friend will cherish that bowl for life! Great form and beautiful wood.

[Dan Forman]

Beautiful wood and tastefully decorated.

Very nice Scott. I like it a lot. Having the ornamental turner really adds a bunch of arrows to your quill. Looks like you are learning quick.

[Kathy Marshall]

Great bowl Scott and I really like the rim treatment.
I almost picked up some cedar at the DWR, but I had already gone way over budget on tools and didn't really want to spend on wood when I have a big pile of free wood sitting outside the shop. The smell of cedar was almost enough to push me to it though.

[Marc Himes]

Very Nice bowl. I like the shape and the wood, but the embellishment really chatches my eye.

well done.

[bob svoboda]

Nicely done. I really like the detail work.

[steven carter]

Very nice bowl, the embellishment just adds to an already fine turning.

[Ron Stadler]

Well your making me jealous already with that ornamental unit you have, very nice embellishment.

[Scott Hackler]

Thanks for all the comments, everyone. The ornamental turner is definitely a cool tool to play with and really opens up a lot of possibilities for decorating some of my turnings.

[Scott Hubl]

Nice job on this one Scott. The rim decoration adds to the bowl nicely.

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Very Nice Scott, good looking bowl is looking even better with the decoration, not overdone, just right ;-))

[Thom Sturgill]

Scott thats fine work. Gotta get me one of those OTs. I have looked at other texturing tools and always been disappointed in the fact that they do not seem to produce a clean cut.
