Nut bowl continued interior photos and assessment

Hi, Im back from lunch,

Well I took several photographs of the interior work but they dont seem to be in my camera. Not sure what happened to them. The last to photos did work and here they are:

The interior work went a lot faster than the exterior sections of the bowl and this completed the turning of the bowl. Its going to need finish sanding now and that should take several work sessions over the next couple of days. But all in all Im happy with the way it turned out.

Here is a photo of it on my coffee table:

The next time I will make it a little deeper and convention or not, Im going to turn a foot on the bottom-it makes the bowl look a little less bottom heavy. But this is a nice piece of work and it will work for its intended function- and that folks is what craft is all about.

Ill post the finish photos later this weekend.

Our next project involves making a fruit bowl that will be fan shaped and have very thin walls. This will present a new technical challenge for me and the wood shop, and Ill let you know when that project begins.

As always, thanks for dropping by the wood shop. See you soon,

The hickory bowl final pictures

Hi Everyone,
Well, its getting down right cold here. Time for more hot soup!

Ive finished the hickory bowl and here are the final photos:

The grain in this piece of wood was really pretty and it was fun to turn this. Im going to oil it for the next several days then finish it with a beeswax polish.

On to the next bow: the salsa bowl I made a couple of weeks ago is drying and the beech bowl is still drying too so Ill be getting to those next week.

Im going to be making several tea boxes for several friends and so that will be my next project and Ill probably begin those this weekend.
