Dogwood Bowl

[Alan Ryalls]

Glen I like that bowl,the form and rim is spot on,and the ideas with the coffee grounds is new to me, I have heard of people using brass filings from the local key cutting store, mixed with CA ,but coffee seems more natural.
Keep the ideas and pictures coming,regards Alan.........

Very nicely done! I like the flare at the rim as well as the shape you turned.

I have some dogwood sitting in the wood pile and just haven't had a chance to get to it. Now you put a real bug in my ear to get it turned. And fast!

Thanks for all your kind comments. Nature made this wood, and I just happened to find it. I saw some figure when I cut the log into, but never dreamed they would turn out like this. I left them pretty thick to dry, coated the blanks with Anchorseal and let them dry for about 6 months. They warped and split pretty bad, that is why I had to do so much repair. One person said he would be afraid to remount the first one because it might fly apart when I stuck a gouge to it, so I stuck CA glue into anything that even looked like a crack. Anyway luck and nature had a lot to what you are seeing here. I have a few more pieces of the tree, but they don't have the character of these pieces that came from the lower part of the tree.
Thanks again.
