Bowls from scrap wood

[Eugene Wigley]

Hello everyone, here are two bowls I made from scrap wood left from furniture projects. I think it is cool to be able to use the scrap wood that has been in my wood storage and shop for a long time.
The first bowl is made from spalted maple. The deminsions are 8" X 1-1/2". The finish is bees wax and oil.
The second bowl is walnut. There is a little sap wood on each side. The sap wood did not turn out as I wanted. I guess that is why we practice. The deminsions are 10" X 1-7/8". The finish is bees wax and oil. I like that finish for practice pieces. It is easy and quick.
Thanks for looking.

Very nice Eugene - How did you get that bottom of the walnut bowl so flat?

[Steve Schlumpf]

Nice work on both bowls Eugene! Really like the worm holes in the maple! Both bowls have rich color and nice form! Looks like you are getting the hang of this bowl thing!

[Jeff Nicol]

Eugene, I agree with Steve the deep tones and colors have anice richness to them! I like the bug holes also, a lot of what I do seem to have bug holes too.

Not too shabby for practice on scrap. I'd like to see some of your serious pieces.
