A "Nyvall Pecan" bowl

[Barry Stratton]

Here's my attempt at a bowl out of Ernie's generous gift this past summer. This one started out as an NE......but all the bark fell off.....:eek:

I was able to keep just a touch of the natural edge. The foot is an on the fly design change as I got a tad too deep in the hollowing process... :rolleyes:

I am happy with the finish (multi coats of wipe on poly), happy that it has minimal sanding marks, and happy that it came out roundish.

Any and all critique is welcome and encouraged...........

Thanks again Ernie!!!

Looks like the other end of the log he sent me: "pinto wood".

Nice job.

Nice recovery Barry! I like the bowl! I did manage to keep the bark on mine but the diving board signaled via increased vibration that something "ungood" was trying to happen. I stopped...saw the bark starting to separate and superglue the entire interface where the bark meets the meat of the wood. Excellent recovery! I like your form.

You're welcome. Glad to see you could get something good out of it and the foot looks just fine. Nice job.
