Classy 10" Pecan Natural Edge Bowl
Classy? Sure it’s classy. It’s turned from classy pecan wood leaving
the bark intact for a super rustic looking natural edge. There is nothing better than pecan wood to
blend in with any décor. Now even though
this bowl does hold liquids, 2 cups worth, it is meant more as a bowl for
putting treasures such as candy, nuts, fruit, etc. It measures 10” at the widest point, 8 ½” at
the narrowest, 3 ¼” at the highest point, 2” at the lowest. It is 1 ½” deep. The bark was helped to stay in place with
clear glue and shellac. The wood was
sealed with food grade walnut oil and then it was finished with a walnut
oil/shellac mixture. Using a combination
such as this gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish. 31Mar18

This heavily spalted piece is really something else. First let me say it is all one piece of wood. No glue or screws here. Uhuh. ...
Both of these natural edged bowls are difficult to turn but look absolutely gorgeous. I have seen these types of turnings at shows and they always generate plenty of interest. I myself have turned these so I know what goes into making them. You my friend have done an exceedingly good job. I love them.
ReplyDeleteHi Les! I managed not to lose any hide on the knuckles or anywhere else while turning and sanding these, this time. Does happen, doesn't it? I have no idea why I put off turning some of these. It's been awhile and like you said, they do generate a lot of interest. Take care my friend, and Happy Easter to you.
