Denny Knappen Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 I finished this bowl on Monday, September 19th. The pattern is by Steve Good and downloaded from his catalog. I used 1/2" Walnut and cut the rings with FD Polar #3 blades. The finish is 50% BLO with one coat of Shellac. It is approximately 5" high and 7" in diameter. Comments welcome.

New Guy Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Very nice job. I cut that one awhile ago and used mineral oil for the finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Really a very nice bowl. I have to give those a try. My wife keeps after me to make some bowls on the lathe. I wore out on the lathe maybe someday I will get back to it, but not now. Besides a good friend of ours makes her bowls, I just have to supply him with some wood. He is far better on the lathe than I ever was. First show he entered he won best in show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Very nice. Way beyond my ability but maybe someday. BTW, BLO is boiled linseed oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Scroller Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I love scrolled bowls you get the chance to try so many different designs and they sell well. Roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Thanks for all the nice comments. Quite easy to make. The trick is to be sure each layer is correctly alligned when gluing. I glue two layers at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
