Made this small oak bowl at the last "club" meeting

started out being not this shallow but hey, instant design changes occur sometimes :D

surviver because the last 2 attempts went bonkers... one split because i had made the bottom quite thin, and the piece had lots of cracks and stuff. The other was stupid. because i didn't think an i vent through the bottom. i still plan to save that one....

i havent been turning bowls other than the first 2 i made when i started out. But now im going into bowl mode i think.. theres much to learn...(and so little time)

diameter 13cm hight 3 cm

sand to 400 pure beeswax colorless 2 coats.

Rasmus - congrats on your first surviving bowl! It looks pretty good to me! Have to warn you - bowls can become very addictive - very fast! Have fun with it and make sure to post lots of pictures!

Great looking bowl Rasmus. As Steve pointed out, bowls are very addictive. They will propel you down the vortex at lightening speed--beware!:D

Beautiful end grain on the sides of that bowl. Oak seems to be one of those "love it or hate it" woods. I love it. Nice work.
