Wally, that is a great bowl!
Man that's great! You are a VERY busy turner!
Congratulations!
Autographed extra?
It's a great looking bowl. It looks like a bunch of bowls all nested together at the first glance. I bet you get a lot of people picking it up to look at it.
I have not turned much in several months, just the usual interruptions. My large lathe is a 1236 that I bought used in 2007 with a lot of miles already on it. My son wanted to make some gifts for...
Nice box! show us the inside?
+ 1 on the wax paper for glue ups.
I also keep some of those ugly little bowls that just did not come out right as small parts bowls.
assorted rubber bands. They are great for holding the caps...
They look fine Billy. They are fun and fairly fast to make. Every time I make a batch, the disappear pretty fast.
I like it.
for practice stuff, avoid the wood that costs money.......someone had to say it.....
Different people have reactions to different woods.....cocobolo makes me scratch where the dust settles on my...
Nice form and fantastic wood. I agree, an infinite supply would be great!
Mesquite is one of my favorites to turn and to look at. I really like the form. One of my quirks is that for a bowl to appeal to me, it should look like it wants to be picked up. This is one of...
After the first tease on this vessel, I have been looking forward to this post. WOW! Like the rest of the turners, I would love to see it in person.
I'm hooked on this series already. I am anxiously waiting on the "bankrupt instead of repayment" bowl. I imagine it will be bottomless.
Very cool. I like the off center arrangement.
Nice Job! I really like the plate.
Those small bowls that just did not look right make great small parts holders around your workbench.
You can turn your hand held belt sander upside down and mount it in the vise on your workbench. ...
It looks like Crepe Myrtle. I have some that large in my back yard.
I do appreciate the help. John, I will give it try with the thinner and Deft. This was about 1/3 of the burl so I get to try again.
I have not had alot of turning time lately but after I cut the weeds on Saturday, decided it was time. This is only my second attempt at a hollow form. I think it is Maple Burl, I bought some...
51 tomorrow. I still think I am 12. My true love would probably say I act 12. That's ok, she loves me anyway. Interesting thread to read. One of my plans for retirement is more turning time.
Superglue. There are several thicknesses. If you want to start a long discussion, just ask the "right" way to do a CA finish! It is very durable as a pen finish. I have a daily user that is 3...
Nice Job! You know, it's the vortex within the vortex.
First its the scraps.
Next it is buying specific woods.
Then comes those beautiful burls.
Hey, segmentation would look cool!
Acrylics and...
You got alot of good advice already. What they left out....don't hesitate to ask questions. We are all willing to help. The learning curve is very fast! We look forward to seeing your work.
I like what you did with the rim. It looks like a stack of bowls!
