    No. 12 Walnut Coin Bowl (The fix is in)

    I had a short ~3ft piece of 4/4 x 6" walnut with a big knot hole in one end so I thought I would make use of a piece of it. So, for your critique and musings here is a small walnut coin bowl. You may have seen my previous post showing the effect of a bad catch when turning it. I did some gluing and some patch work and I think It turned out pretty decent.

    Stats:
    Nicely figured Walnut
    One coat CA Finish then Triple E and finally wax.
    Brass Filings and epoxy inlay
    Diameter - 5.5 Inches
    Height - 1 inch

    If you look closely at this photo you can see the hairline crack where I glued it back together.

    I like the form and the inlay, James. I like having small coin-type bowls around the house and as gifts. Nicely done.

    Good save, I didn't notice the repair. The brass filings inlay is also a nice feature.

    A nice little bowl James, the inlay is just enough and looks like it belongs.

    JD, very nice save on that bowl, and certainly worth the effort! I enjoyed doing the couple of bowls I did with the brass filings, and I need to do another. It really dresses them up IMO, and looks great with walnut.

    Nice save James. The brass inlay blends in very well with the deep walnut color. Nice finish also.

    James, I recall the mess you had when it exploded. I can't see where you repaired it. What a great save effort, and a beauty from any angle.

    I really like it but I have to know how you do the inlay. Are the brass filings mixed with CA? I can see myself covered with shiny brass sparkles after i try to put the stuff in the recess.

    Nicely done. I like the rim detail and the band of brass.

    How much do you charge to fix broken bowls? Nothing I've ever tried to patch has turned out as nice, so I'm thinking you may be the guy to send my broken bowls to.

    Great save indeed...

    James, great save on that one. I have not had as good a success as you with repairs like that..that piece is super, and I really like the inlay work.
    Laugh at least once daily, even if at yourself!
