DWSUDEKUM Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 All 4 of these bowls were made from the same pattern. The differences were the thickness of the wood and the size of the pattern. The first bowl ( top left ) This Bowl was cut from 1/2 inch thick BB. Sealed with Tung Oil and then top coated with satin lacquer. The pattern was full size. The second bowl ( top right ) This bowl was cut from this blank that is 5/8 in. thick. The pattern was full size. Sealed with tung oil and then top coated with satin lacquer. The third bowl ( bottom left ) This bowl was cut from 1/4 in. 3 pile ply. The pattern was full size. I did not use all of the rings. Sealed with tung oil and top coated with satin lacquer. The fourth bowl ( bottom right ) This bowl was cut from 1/4" bb however the pattern was only 5 inches in diameter. Sealed with tung oil and top coated with satin lacquer. The two on the top were full size but had different wood thickness. The striped one was 5/8 in and the other 1/2 inch. The other two were 1/4 inch but of different size ( diameter ) patterns. All the bowls were sealed with tung oil and then top coated with satin lacquer. As you can see there can be a wide variance in making a bowl with a pattern.

Multifasited Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Checkout that crazy grain pattern on the end grain ,Did you glue 3/4" stock and plane down to size ,tricky gluing up and clamping to keep the warp under control ,more to it than just fine cutting ,I am impressed !

DWSUDEKUM Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Checkout that crazy grain pattern on the end grain ,Did you glue 3/4" stock and plane down to size ,tricky gluing up and clamping to keep the warp under control ,more to it than just fine cutting ,I am impressed ! That is essentially what I did. Except I used a sandflee knockoff to get everything flat. The pine board I used was 12 inches long x 10 inches wide and 3/4 thick. It had a pretty good warp, about 3/8 of an inch lengthwise. That is why I cut and spliced the insert there. The glue up was pretty easy. essentially 2 bar clamps and a couple of spring clamps to ensure that the boards did not pop up and apart. I do not have a table saw so I use my little 9" ryobi bandsaw and my 12" disk sander to ensure things are tight and square. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 You certainly think before you cut, so many of us think after we are finished We should all take a leaf out of your book DW. They look great DW Marg LarryEA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Scroller Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) For a minute DW I thought you stack cut them, which gives me an idea to produce more by stack cutting them. There all good looking baskets everyone I've made I've sold to people and they love them for potpourri bowls Thanks for showing.
