View Full Version : Finally Finished The Set

Last summer Joe Tonich gave me half of a large cherry log that had a small burl on the side of it. Last year I cored it and turned the small burl and finished up 2 of the 3 cored bowls but never got around to the second largest bowl because I was trying to figure out how to save the blank since the coring made it Very thin:eek:

I finally glued a thick cherry glue block onto the bottom to cover the thin spot and that is what was in the last picture of the "Been Busy" post. Since CRS has been around awhile I forgot that bowl was part of this set until last night talking with Joe the light bulb went on.:o

So here are the 4 bowls I got out of the one half log. The little burl was a bit punky so I took out all of the soft stuff and in one spot tried out the burner.

The bowls range from 13-1/2" x 3-1/2" for the big one and 4" x 2-1/2" for the little burl. Thank you Joe for a great piece of wood.

Thanks for looking.

Dick those are some mighty fine looking bowls. You did some great work on them. I would hide the big one from Andy though.

Great job Dick. I real nice set. I was looking at a coring setup. Just can't decide. Sure would be nice to make bowls instead of shavings!!

Those are some great looking bowls, Dick!!! Well, except for the last one. It won't hold soup, so it's an art piece!!! :D Now, that middle sized one would look even better with a few scoops of some NY Cherry!...Hmmmmm, hmmmmmm, gooooood!!! :) :cool:

Thanks everyone, I love turning cherry and this was a lot of fun from one piece of wood. Thanks again Joe.

George help yourself, I am sure someone else used that shape before I did.:D
