Ambrosia Maple Bowl

[Tim A. Mitchell]

This piece turned out to be about 4.5 inches in diameter by 2.75 inches high. The thickness is quite consistent on this one, so it hollows out a bit. The only exception is the center of the bottom where I almost went through. You can't tell, unless you have light behind it.

I would have been fine, if I had left a foot on it, but I decided to make a jam chuck an turn it off. I just had a hard time turning the very center of the inside and got a bit too deep.

This was from a 8x8x3 blank, but I cut it down to have a couple small project pieces from it.

Almost forgot: Finish to this point is sanded to 320 and a few coats of BLO, and wiped down with paper towel.

Sorry for the dark pic. The LOML keeps hasseling me for not waiting for more light in our dark house.

I really like ambrosia maple. The variety of patterns really make the piece. Great form!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Great looking bowl and wood. Well done.

[Jim Becker]

That's a great looking pot/bowl!! One of the forms I happen to like a lot, too.

[Tim A. Mitchell]

Thanks guys. Jim, I really like this form too. This is the first one of this form I turned.

Also the first bowl with a bowl gouge. That sure does make it easier once you get used to it.

[Dale Gregory]

Beautiful wood, like the kind of "X" pattern. Nice job!

That's a real good looker there Tim! I like this particular form also, I've done several like this I think it really shows off the figure of the wood. Well done!

[Alex Elias]

I really like your work the shape and the wood look great. I can't tell if it's the setting on my screen but it look pretty dark here and since I like the bowl so much I brighten up the image. I hope you don't mind.
Here it is and now I like it even more.
