You always say the nicest things. Cutting this out wasn't as bad as one might expect. I used a #9 regular skip tooth blade. But the sanding is a bit more tedious. I used a 60 grit sleeve on the spindle sander. I have a matching 15 inch bowl glued up and looking forward to cutting that tomorrow afternoon, after I get off work. Wood was 26 1/2 mm thick (just over 1 inch thick) and cut it at 34 degrees. I finished this with mineral oil. The glue up is on the edge grain, so they are built like a cutting board and then cut into the rings. The edge grain glue up method should make these bowls very durable and prevent warping. Interesting site: www.bowlmill.com Seems they use only USP grade mineral oil on all their turned bowls and kitchen products. I thought I would give it a try on this bowl.

Huntter2022 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Suise that is a lovely bowl. Sounds like a good source of wood for a bowl could be a cutting board . get them from yard sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
