Paela Bowl

[Lee DeRaud]

Ok, Barry, this one's for you, from one of those blanks you sent me. I still have no idea what "paela" is, sounds like a Spanish rice dish, looks like some kind of cedar...somebody will be along shortly to tell me it's yet another species of eucalyptus or something.:p

About 5"x2", two coats of SealACell and buffed. Form not exactly what I had planned, but that knot/inclusion/whatever was nasty: a lot harder than the surrounding wood. And then I chickened out thinning the walls when I started to hit it from the inside. So it goes...haven't gotten to the point yet where I can impose my will on the wood.

Lee,
That is a nice looking bowl though Andy think it needs to be bigger if it is going to hold a half gallon (a serving) of Ben and Jerry's.

Here is a little info on Paela for ya...

Great bowl Lee:) :) I don't think you can ever impose your will on a piece of wood, at least I can't:)

Lee...................You can NEVER impose your will on wood, it only lets you think that you did. That is VERY spactacular!

Pretty Colors! Kinda cool. Nice job Lee.:)

[Glenn Hodges]

Nice things often come in small packages, and this is true in this case. These are beautiful colors.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Beautiful bowl Lee. Wood has some nice color. Nice job.

[Barry Stratton]

EXCELLENT JOB, Lee!!!!! The color of the wood is real nice and I like the shape. Looks plenty "thin" enough, `specially for a user bowl!

The redheart I've been cutting up for pen blanks and turning is like cold butter, hope that block is the same for you.

That"s a nice shape, great finish, and really beautiful grain.
If you try to impose your will, the VORTEX will strike back:eek:
