Alright, I might have gotten a little carried away calling it a yummy little red oak bowl but that’s okay. It is smallish in size and what you might put in it could very well be yummy. After all it does hold 2 ¼ cups measured up to the brim. This bowl will not hold liquids as I did not fill and seal off all of the old bug holes in it. So, it is great for nuts, small fruits, candies and even potpourri. I did some decorative lines and such on the bottom and outside. The diameter is 8 ¼” with a height of 1 ¾” and a depth of 1”. The wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil and the finished with a walnut oil/shellac mix. This combination gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish. There are some small natural flaws in the wood which I left for a rustic appeal. 12Jul17 BLRO67 If you want more info see:
Third picture down, WOW, just look at the beautiful colour and grain patterns on this bowl, truly outstanding. This bowl is certainly a thing of beauty. I like how you have burnt the lines into the sides of this bowl and to be honest I have not seen this done before. They are usually done around the top or on the base of bowls. Once again my friend a truly outstanding piece of turning.
ReplyDeleteHi Les! Glad you like it! Cute little thing, ain't it? I like doing lines but seeing not all customers like them, I have to watch myself and not get too carried away with them. I was really lucky with this wood. Mamma Nature was real good to it. Take care, my friend! Can't wait to see what you show me next!
