Cherry pay back bowl

[Terry Quiram]

A friend from work asked me if I would like some Cherry from a tree that blew down at the back of his property. I asked how much he wanted to part with and he said I could have all if I wanted it. I could have it if I made him a couple of pens. I shared 4 truckloads with my turning club. Tim got his pens plus mushrooms, kitchen utensils and this bowl. Bowl is 13 dia and 6 tall. 1 coat of sunshine, 4 coats of watcos and buffed.

Terry........the simple lines of bowl coupled with the wood.....beautiful!


Question? What is sunshine.....are you putting the bowl out in the sun to darken it?

[Dick Parr]

Yes, I set Cherry in the sun. One side up in the morning and the other side up in the afternoon. I hate adding artifical color other than watco natural. I manage to avoid it most of the time.

4 Truckloads to your turning club???!!! Holy smokes! How many truckloads did you end up with?

B-U-T-E-full, Terry! :D It was truly generous of you to share so much of it with others! Looks to have been a nice Cherry and, with that bowl, this particular Cherry will live on for a long time! Nice job, my friend! :) :cool:

Great, awesome bowl! Was wondering what your procedure was for drying. Did you use the dna method, how long, etc? Thanks for posting the pics and any input.

[Ed Scolforo]

Terry, that's a classic beauty. Well done.

[Jim Ketron]

Beautiful shape Terry!
Nice Job Bud!

[Dick Strauss]

Terry,
It is great to see a beautiful bowl that can actually be used! My buddy thinks every bowl should be thin (1/8-1/16" thick) but I would rather make something more useful and a little thicker.

[Joe Tonich]

That's cool Terry. I always turn something for the people that give me wood....and that bowl is beautious! I'm sure he loves it. :D :D
