A new Twist on a Bowl

[Jim Ketron]

This Cherry bowl puts a new spin on things:D This was a fun project to add something to just a regular bowl to make it unique, I call it Screw bowl. :D
It's 9" wide X 2 3/4" tall, finish is Gel Poly and buffed with the Beall.

[Chris Barton]

You can try to call that a bowl but, I know better! Its a solid cherry endcap to a 12" pipe!:D

Sincerely,

"screwball"

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Jim.........It never ceases to amaze me that you are able to come up with such different ideas and have the talent to so beautifully pull them off! Gorgeous...fantastic......stunning.....there are not enough words to describe that bowl! Great!

Everybody close your ears..........You rascal......how'd you do it?:rolleyes: :D

[Frank Chaffee]

Come on now Jim,
You know the spinny side rules: There will be absolutely NO engine lathes allowed in the creation of art turnings.

Or to put that another way “Jeese guy, how in the world did you do THAT???”

Wow, wow, and more wow wow.

[Travis Stinson]

Guys, the crispness of the details in this bowl is outstanding! This bowl was a neat surprise to see and hold. Great job on it Jim!:cool: :)

[Curt Fuller]

That is very cool! But like the rest, I'm scratching my head wondering how you did that rim. Multi-axis?

[John Hart]

Did you buy a threading tool Jim? That is too cool!!:) The bowl itself is just wonderful and the threads add wonder.;)

[David Fried]

Nice bowl, too bad MLB banned the screw bowl :D

[Fred LeBail]

Jim, As usual, OUTSTANDING !!!!

[Stu Ablett in Tokyo Japan]

VERY cool, but I for one don't want to know how Jim did it, screw that ;) :D

I know, then I'd have to try it as well, not knowing makes me just shrug my shoulders and say "Dunno...?" :D

Cheers!

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Good Lookin' Jim. Got it Screwed DOWN tight!

Looks like someone is playing with a Sorby Texture tool and using the coarse wheel.

Or in this case, made a tool like the Sorby and improved on the design and added features:D

Great bowl

[Andy Hoyt]

Or didja loosen one jaw a snoodge?

[Ernie Nyvall]

Wow Jim, that is a special touch there on the rim. It looks like they were machined on there. The whole thing looks great.

Okay guys, it's been since yesterday and he hasn't answered as to how he did it. I say we hunt him down and let Raymond poke him with a stick until he gives it up.:eek: :D

Raymond....Would you like me to hold him down?....or do you like it when they flop around a bit?

[Travis Stinson]

Raymond....Would you like me to hold him down?.....
THAT I would pay to see!!!!!!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :D

[Ken Fitzgerald]

I'm selling tickets Travis.....let's see what's a new mayo or mustard cost?.....Box seats only.....limited seat availability......John "Horsey" Hart vs Jim "I'm saying Nothing" Ketron.........10 rounds of Georgia Red Clay Mud Wrestling..........Loser gets poked with a stick by Raymond........:eek: :D

[Mark Cothren]

Just add a few gumballs to the mix and Jim will be "all in" for some wrasslin'...:D

[Paul Douglass]

use the bonkers on him!!!

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Not sure I WANT TO GO THEERE!!!!!!

Bruce

[Frank Fusco]

Howjadodat?

[Dennis Peacock]

I think Jim said it was a cutter on a texturing tool that either works well on a bowl or...it doesn't work very well at all. He said at the BBQ that he just happened to have this one that turned out perfectly. And he was right!! It's very pretty and great clarity on this bowl when you view it in person. :D

[Pat Salter]

Man you really screwed that bowl up!:D I like it! Great job! Don't forget. Righty tighty/Lefty losey!
Actually looks like a left handed thread.....which makes me think he used a hand threader.....:eek:

[Jim Ketron]

Thanks all for the complements

Ed got it! The Sorby Texturing/Spiral Tool.
This was the first on I tried. played around on 2 more bowls with not so good results but I was trying diff styles. Think I will be doing some more like this.
