    cedar bowl

    Here is a cedar bowl I just finished up its 8 1/4" X 2 3/4" buffed on the Beall.
    Its a Gift to my Grandmother she has had a cedar Bedroom suite for many years, and I thought this would go great with it.

    Beautiful bowl, Jim! Grandma will love it as much as the new twins. Congratulations on both!

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Jim,

    I really like the sap wood that shows on the bottom of the peice. Cedar is a really neat wood!

    Thanks for the Nice comments

    Yep Steve, Im an alky abuser soaked it for 24 hours let it dry for 2 1/2 weeks. Im glad Dave Smith lets us in on his methods! This is the only method I have used so far and I love it Im too impatient to wait for months to finish one

    Grandmothers will always say they love "whatever" you give them, but I have a feeling she is going to not only love it but be proud of it.
    I've got to try that alky stuff. I get impatient too.
    good job all around.
