My first Bowl Attempt.. I'm bitten

[Kyle]

I found some nice Dogwood burl recently and decided to try and turn a burl cap into a bowl. I took my time and Chris gave me some pointers but here it is...



I love the embedded eyes in this wood..

I sealed with a butcher block oil and will do a final sealing with a Ward finish.


I am now working on a bell lid out of curly claro walnut and will turn a finial and foot soon.. will post when finally complete.



Thanks for looking..

Well I, for one, am thoroughly impressed !

Good job !! :icon_thum :eusa_clap

Oh Kyle - not you too :swoon:

 

[FredP]

welcome to the darkside Kyle! It's a slipery slope but oh what a ride!:gar-Bi great first bowl.:icon_thum:icon_thum

 

[Kyle]

Oh Kyle - not you too :swoon:

Its horrible..dreaming of turning mineral stained poplar in 20+' dimension..

Chris is such an enabler. He is bring over the monster lathe to the farm and we will be turning mega bowls soon..

argghh..

 

[CrealBilly]

Well Maybe... just maybe... it's a new dawn, a day to consider all things new, a day to pull up your boot straps and wade out through the mud to the barn and slaughter the fatted calf.

Kyle turns his first AWE SOME bowl and Scott Brown a republican wins the Massachusetts senate race held by a democrat since 1953. I mean something has changed... If Kyle has taken to the lathe... Maybe I should too.

I just slapped myself - I'm ok now, resume regularly scheduled programs

Thanks

Kyle, that is a beautiful bowl from a beautiful piece of wood. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap I'm just worried because you're a sawyer. Just don't let it get in the way of regular business. :rotflm:

Very nice. What a beautiful piece of wood. You certainly did it justice, first one or not!

 

[DavidF]

NO WAY! is that a first bowl!!!! Kyle that is simply amazing, I love it!! Just for edification, how did you chuck the blank as far as grain orientation, to get that wonderful rim. Was the blank a log piece?

 

[Mike Davis]

Great looking bowl Kyle.

I need to get over to your farm sometime, just not enough hours in the day...
