Cherry Burl Bowl With Textured Rim

[Raymond Overman]

This hunk of cherry has been sitting around my woodpile for ages. I forgot that it was burl and it was under a few other pieces. I found it the other day and finally got around to turning it this evening.

Raymond that is a beautiful piece. What did you texture the rim with? Simple form but beautiful.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Beautiful bowl Raymond! I like that burl!

[Raymond Overman]

Bernie, it was textured with one of the Sorby texturing wheels ($29). I made my own handle for it though instead of buying the $170 kit.

Nice piece there Raymond..!!!! Can I come look through your wood pile? ;) :D

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks Raymond. I appreciate it.

[Raymond Overman]

Sure, come on Dennis. If you find anything interesting in there you just have to split it with me though. If you find one of those no shouldered, slippery, black king cotton mouth water rattler mocasins though you can keep it.

I know for a fact there's some black walnut, cherry, pecan (spalted and unspalted), hickory, peach, pear, persimmon, cedar, oak burl, punky dogwood burl, and maybe a stray piece of maple in there. I just have to get around to turning it instead of collecting I guess.

I like everything about it, Raymond. The wood is just wonderful and the texturing adds another dimension of interest. Good job!:D

[Glenn Hodges]

Georgous wood and treatment there of by you makes it even more so.

Raymond, that is a lovely bowl. Great wood, and the form and embellishment sets it off wonderfully!

[Mike Ramsey]

Beautiful bowl Raymond! Looks a lot like Red Gum.

Nice looking bowl, Raymond. I like the burl a lot.

I hear those are some mean ol' snakes. If they bite you, you'll die before you can say their complete name. ;)

Real nice job Raymond. I think I would have angled the texture down to the right instesd of up to the left though, but that's just me.:rolleyes: :D

You surprise me Ernie. I always took you for a left angler.

Technically though Ernie, while the piece was spinning on the lathe, I applied an up and to the right texture. The texturing tool's cut started from the outside edge of the bowl and moved toward the center creating the up and to the left pattern only when the bowl was set upright.

Disclaimer: It is important to note that this texture does not imply or endorse any political affiliation, show support for any views of any group of people, or make any statement. It is placed on the rim of the bowl strictly for entertainment purposes only. This bowl should be enjoyed by everyone, left anglers and right anglers alike. Cross-hatchers may enjoy this bowl as well but should note that tilting the bowl back and forth will not result in the desired effect. Please bowl responsibly.
