preprius Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) I wanted to try to make a football bowl. So I made an oval about the same size as a football. Outer ring is about 11inches. I chose Myrtle for the wood. I wanted about 1/4 inch thick walls. So it comes out to 22.5 degrees angle. So I drilled the holes and cut the rings. Glued the rings together but left off the bottom. That way I could sand the inside of the bowl. I used a foam pipe cover to hold sandpaper easier. The outside was sanded with palm sander. After is was all glued up, I used butcher block conditioner which has Carnuba wax. Here is a youtube video that shows before oil and after oil. Here are pictures. I think it looks more like an egyptian boat.
