Ninuninu Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hey all. Ever since I first found the Village I have been intrigued with the concept of baskets and bowls. I have always said that one day I would try one for myself and I finally got down to doing a basket. Albeit my better half is very happy with the result... "Ah... Finally... Something I can use that is also decorative." Made from 1/4 inch beech the total diameter is 9 inches. As usual it was done with my trusty old fret saw. Maybe someday soon I'll manage a bowl.

Ninuninu Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 It looks like a Steve Good pattern, is it? Actually its not. This was a free pattern from 'scrollbench'. It's one of Steve Good's collapsible baskets that I want to try. He has a lovely one with humming birds on it and I think that is soon going to be attempted.

Ninuninu Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Great bowl. You say "fret saw", you do that by hand? Very impressive. Yup that's right Paul, all by hand with an old style fret saw. Don't even have a scroll saw... keeps the electricity bill down you see... :rofl: Thanks for your comments.

DWSUDEKUM Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Very nicely done Tony. The possibilities are endless for making bowls. There is an author - Carole Rothman that has a couple of books out with projects in them. They are well worth getting into your pattern library. https://www.amazon.com/Wooden-Bowls-Scroll-Easy---Make/dp/1565234332/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1475094587&sr=1-1&keywords=carole+rothman This book will get you really started on the path of some really wonderful bowls, and vases.
