save with stained glass

[Ian Upwood]

When I got too aggressive finishing the bottom of this bowl on the jumbo jaws, I blew the bottom out. Instead of adding the bowl to the scrap pile I incorporated a past hobby of stained glass. I cut a 3 inch round piece of glass mounted in bottom of bowl, and turned a new foot for it. Since making this big boo boo, I have made a few more glass bottomed bowls. your C & C's please. Ina

Nice save Ian. You turned a funnel back into a bowl.

[Carl Civitella]

Glass bottom boats been around for awhile, why not bowls. Carl

[Roger Chandler]

quite a unique fix!

[Primvs Aebvtivs]

Nice save!

[Kevin Lucas]

Now that's a neat idea!

[James Combs]

Great save Ian, now you have a great looking bowl. Like the matching coloring of the bowl and glass.

[James Roberts]

This makes you a Super Saver I guess. Did you dye to wood to match the glass or find the right color glass to match the dye? Just curious, either way I like it a lot!
