Mahogany Bowl

[Dick Parr]

Here is some mahogany that was given to me by a new neighbor that just retired from the navy and has been carrying it around since getting it from the Philippines where is was stationed.

It is 6" x 3" x 3/16" thick and is finished by using the beall buffing system. I have enough to make maybe 4 more this size. :D

Thanks for looking :)

[Don Baer]

very nice form and finish.

[Michael Stafford]

That wood has a lot of character and you certainly turned a nicely shaped bowl from it. I like the color. Did you have trouble with any of the Beall compounds accumulating in the open pores?

Very nice! :)

[Chris Barton]

That looks great Dick! I see that the Nova is serving you well. Keep up the good work!

[Jeff Jump]

Nice form. I really like the foot detail.

I agree, great form and finish and the foot detail adds a nice touch.:) :)

[Jim Ketron]

Nice wood and great form Dick.

Is that log you posted a while back used for this bowl?

[John Miliunas]

Well done, Dick and beautiful finish on it, as well. One word of caution, though: It won't hold soup!:D (Well, at least not all of it, anyhow!:) ) Nice job!:) :cool:

[Robert Watsek]

Hey Dick:

How about sending that my way. It will go great with my "Holey" pot and "Holey" Sundae.

Enough goofin' off by me...................That is a Very nice piece - Form - Finish - and Character!

I've always been afraid to use white diamond on mahogany, but the tripoli was no problem.

Did you have trouble with any of the Beall compounds accumulating in the open pores?

[Mark Singer]

[Rich Stewart]

You know what they say. If it won't hold soup, it's art. Beautiful bowl.
