"Bring Back" Bowl

[Charlie_W]

At our club's December meeting, Our daughter RoseMarie won the "Bring Back" raffle.
She won a very nice padauk turning which was made by the previous month's raffle winner. I will attach a pic of it.
For her bring back, she made a red mulberry natural edge bowl. It was from a club member who had a mulberry go down. It was still pretty wet and RoseMarie turned it to finish. this bowl has a tung oil finish. It is 6" diameter and 2.5" tall. She had a little catch on the inside side wall from which with some help, recovered..hence the name "Rescue".
As she is back at school, I will take it to our next regular club meeting where someone else will win it and then make something for the following month.

I Love this! This is a great happening at your club. Congrats to your daughter. I have a son that also likes to invade my workshop whenever he is home - Happily for me.

Well done and thanks for sharing. :biggrin:

Two nice bring backs. I won the bring back at our last meeting and now I must make something to take back for the bring back.:biggrin::biggrin:
I wonder if they are tired of me bringing a nice pen?
Do a good turn daily!

Thanks all!
I enjoy the limited time we get together in the shop. She is not the fastest turner but knows what she wants the finished piece to look like and is willing to stick with it to the end. She is a perfectionist ( No clue where she gets it :wink and is very detailed.

Beautiful bowl! Like the boat shape, pretty grains and the natural edge is fantastic. Congrats to her, excellent turning piece.

 

[bobleibo]

Wow! Simply wow! Both are excellent pieces but I really like the shape of that second one. A showpiece for sure!

She did a great job on that natural edge piece, and thanks for describing the "Bring Back" raffle. I had never heard of that before, I will mention the idea to the other officers of our club and see if they want to try the concept.

Eric,
Thanks,
The bring back raffle is fun! Her is how our club handles the raffle.

If anyone at the meeting wishes to participate, they get a ticket and put half in the jar with the other tickets. A ticket is pulled and this person is the winner of the item brought back by the past winner and then you will turn something for the next month. The tickets are no charge. You are free to make anything you like and it doesn't matter what your specialty is or your skill level. It is a chance to be challenged and get to own another's work.
