Spalted Ice Cream Bowl

[Steve Schlumpf]

Based on the overwhelming discussion of the correct size of a popcorn bowl – I thought this would fit in with everyone’s expectations of a proper ice cream bowl – for a single serving of course!

Spalted White Birch, 11 ¼” diameter x 3 ¼” high, sanded to 320 grit, 5 coats of Minwax Wipe-On Gloss Poly.

As always, any comments, critiques or opinions are appreciated!

Thanks for looking!

Beautiful bowl, Steve. Just need a half gallon of spalted ice cream to put in it.

[Greg Just]

That's my kind of ice cream bowl. Nice job.

[Rick Gifford]

11" ice cream bowl? :eek:

My kids would deffinately agree...

[Bruce Pennell]

Steve your finally getting a handle on correct size. That is just right for a single serving of ice cream. Rocky Road would look great in your bowl. Super bowl Steve, all of your work is great. Thanks for sharing....Bruce

[Bernie Weishapl]

That bowl is beautiful Steve. Yep that will hold a good portion of ice cream for sure.:D:rolleyes:;)

[Jon Lanier]

Now that looks like a popcorn bowl. :p

Thanks for sharing, Steve. I've only roughed out bowls to date but hope to get time to begin finish turning some soon. I like viewing everyone's work as inspiration and to guide me to proper form and finish.

On deck and waiting - I've got a 10" roughed out cherry bowl with a crack I just epoxied last night (tip from friends here) and two red oak bowls that survived any checking from the DNA process.

Your work is always top shelf.

Steve....that is a beautiful, one serving, 2500 calorie ice cream bowl. It would not pass Andy's muster, however, due to it's small 11 inch, 2500 calorie size.:rolleyes:

[Mike Vickery]

Beautiful piece!

Make mine butter pecan. That would be a great meal in the perfect bowl.

[Mark Hix]

beautiful bowl, I'd say about half a gallon of natural vanilla bean ice cream w/ chocolate syrup would go best......can I give it a try?

[Mitchell Cholewinski]

Steve
That is one sweet bowl you turned there, not because of the ice cream, but cause of the sweet job you did turning that baby.Very well done, you deserve a round of applause from all us turners. Congrats on a job well done. Mitch

[Steve Schlumpf]

Thanks everyone for all your kind comments! I do appreciate it!

[Keith Burns]

Steve, another winner ! Great form ! Looks a little small for ice cream though.

[Andy Hoyt]

Ice cream! Did someone mention ice cream?

I don't see no stinkin' ice cream. :mad:

Nice corn flakes bowl, Steve. :D

I told you it wouldn't be big enough!:D

[Ben Gastfriend]

From the picture on the interview, you don't look like a BIG guy. Either you don't really eat that much ice cream, or do and have a really high metabolism!

Great bowl! Love the spalting. Is there a wee bit of warping or is it just the picture?

[Steve Schlumpf]

Ben - it's just the photo. When you go to macro mode it does has a tendency to go fisheye a little bit. Hopefully I'll get a DSLR one of these days...

[Bill Wyko]

You've done it again Steve. Way to go my friend.:)

[Allen Neighbors]

You like Ice Cream like I like Ice Cream. Nice bowl!! Nice Shape for sure!

[Curt Fuller]

Man, they don't get much nicer than that! That's about the perfect size, form, and nice wood. But maybe a little to pretty to goober up with good old fashioned chocolate ice cream.

[David Newson]

Steve - I always thought that I ate a lot of ice cream, but not on that scale of yours.

Another excellent bowl design and finish as always.
