mystery bowl
Project Information
ok this is a mystery bowl because i have no idea what the wood is,it was a large slice about 3" thick and 30" oval.had a lot of cracks and bug holes which you can see in pic 4 filled with ca glue.you may see some of the small cracks also.last pic is chunk with bark on,anyone know what it is? after cutting it up i had to turn a piece.5-1/2"d3/4"h.did some wire burns.finished with mylands friction polish. i went thinner on the sides this time about 1/8".got carried away though the bottom is only about 1/16",almost blew it. all comments or tips and suggestions welcome.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

Gatta admit, you have nailed pottery.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
Hard to imagine an ugly piece of wood turning out that nice. Good job. Mike

The duck doesn’t know what’s in his vino juice box. Only it gets him to where he wants to go
