No need to add anything to this
beautiful pecan bowl to make it stand out.
The natural color of this bowl with a tad bit of spalting added to it
just simply makes it easy on the eyes, for sure. There is a bit of a crack on the lip that I
reinforced for good measure with clear glue and natural dust. This little natural defect helps add to the
rustic appearance of this bowl. Not that
pecan needs any help! The diameter of
the bowl is 10 ½” and the height is 3 ¼”.
The depth comes to 2 ½” and the volume measures ½ gallon to the
brim. That is a lot of veggies, smashed
spuds, and other tasty items. The wood
was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac
mixture. A combination like this gives
the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish. There is a nice lip for ease in
handling. Certainly a one of a kind
piece. 24Jun19 BLP217

Love the colour and grain structure in this Pecan bowl. Nice clean lines and a nicely finished base without any clue to how it was held on the lathe. A very nice turning Dave, well done my friend.
ReplyDeleteHi Les! Yeah I hate leaving a tenon on something. Cole Jaws work wonders to eliminate that. Glad you like the bowl. Take care of yourself!
