Heli_av8tor Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I have that pattern printed and ready to apply. How stable are the bowls? I’m wondering if a couple of the lower rings would be better left as part of the base. tomsteve and amazingkevin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toothpick Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 How did you attach them together? Glue? Epoxy? tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 It is really fun and surprising when one cuts their first bowl, as it turns our to be a rather easy one to do and the results are so satisfying too. They look great. I bet you will be trying a lot of different bowl patterns now. I love cutting them Dick heppnerguy tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Certainly great looking work. Alex will be impressed. Marg tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m wondering if a couple of the lower rings would be better left as part of the base. When I make bowls like this I often start from the outside and make a dry stack as I go. I drill the holes as I cut so that I can see how the bowl is stacking up and how stable it feels. tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
