Fay Prozora Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I made this bowl and it took me a couple of days to finish it. It is an improvement from the last bowl I did and not so much glue problems. There were a few . I found a piece of wood in a thrift store so I cut the bowl out on the scroll saw. It is thicker than what the pattern called for but it turned out fine other wise. I like the way it flared out at the top. I believe the wood is a curly maple and it was a hard wood to cut. I used a wood turner's finish on the bowl and I like the shine on it...Enjoy,, Fay lawson56, amazingkevin and Stogies 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson's Woodworking Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 You did a marvelous job on this lovely bowl. Figured maple is one of my favorite woods to make things out of although I like figure in any kind of wood. I think it really makes a project POP. I will look forward to seeing more of these wonderful bowls when you get a chance to get back in the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Prozora Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thank you every one. Shoot that bowl was cut at a steep angle too so it was a little hard to work with on the saw. THere's a little piece of that wood left but I may try to turn it on the lathe later tonight after it gets here. I should be able to cut some pen banks out of what is left and that wood would make pretty pens or handles for other things. Thanks again,, Fay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
