DWSUDEKUM Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 The tray puzzle was cut from 3/4 inch oak and has a 1/4 inch backer. It was finished with Tung Oil. The 7 inch swag bowl was a total salvage job. A painted board was given to me and I was told it was a pine board. I stripped the paint and I found one of those commercial ready to paint glue up boards. This board had some great graining so I decided to use it for a bowl. I also had a scrap piece of spanish cedar. This bowl is 7 in in diameter, 4 inches tall and was sealed with Tung Oil and top coated with Shellac.

heppnerguy Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I really like your puzzle Idea. I know that i will be using this technique on my next puzzle. Thank for the great idea. By the way, you did another wonderful job with it. The bowl is absolutely outstanding. Excuse my ignorance, but I am going to plead this one to "There are no stupid questions here", is the bowl turned for scrolled ?

Excuse my ignorance, but I am going to plead this one to "There are no stupid questions here", is the bowl turned for scrolled ? Dick heppnerguy The bowl is totally scrolled Dick. The rings were 5/16 inch wide and cut with the table left side down at 22.6 degrees. Concentric rings were cut and then stacked and glued up. I then sanded it. This is a really simple bowl as bowls go. Cutting at an angle takes practice but is relatively simple to do. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Amazing all of your work is amazing. You have to promise me that if you ever get me in an ornament exchange at Christmas you will send me a box or a bowl, I will not settle for anything else. Love you work DW. :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: Marg keefie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawson56 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 DW you did an awesome job on both. Love the Bowl Top Notch work :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Marg, you nailed that one. How can he possibly NOT pack that bowl up and mail it to you just because you want it and praise his work ? I believe the bowl is probably already on it's way to Australia as I write this Dick heppnerguy keefie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWSUDEKUM Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 i purchased the wooden bowls book ,just getting up my courage to do some, i hope mine turn out as nice as yours , great work John I too started out using Carole's book for inspiration I still refer to it from time to time. Making bowls with a scroll saw is really just limited to your abilities and imagination. You should have seen my first attempt at a bowl... it was not pretty however it caused me to want to try another, they can be addictive Looking forward to seeing yours when you get it done.
