Maple pedestal bowl

[John Hart]

A piece I worked on today. The bowl has been drying for a year so I took the day off from work and finished it off.
This is a 5" maple natural edge bowl set up on a walnut burl pedestal.

John, I would like to copy the pedestal if it's ok. How did you fasten the walnut "tray", and how did you fasten the bowl to the "tray"?

[John Hart]

Thanks Glenn
Expect to put as much work into the tray as you do in the bowl. I cut a 3" diameter groove in the bottom of the bowl then match a precise 3" diameter tongue into the tray piece while creating the curve I want. Then just glue it in place
