Design opportunity

As Tim Yoder would say. Design Modification.

:biggrin:

been there done that but did not have the guts to show my mistakes

 

[Mr Vic]

I think I would inadvertently glue a jam chuck (of a nice darker wood) and the finish the inside and base.

Looks like a diet soup/ice cream bowl to me. As Mr Vic suggests a contrasting plug makes it distinctive.

If it doesn't hold water, it's art.

 

[MDWine]

Man, I feel for ya.
Slap a hunk of walnut in there and "design" away!! That piece is too pretty to discard!

Many times my best work is the result of fixing a mistake ...

 

[alankulwicki7]

I think we all have one or two of those in our workshop. I know I have one hanging on the wall right next to my lathe as a reminder to be careful on those last few passes

 

[bobleibo]

That's the exact same way I turn my firewood. Strangely, I seem to never run out.

 

[tomtedesco]

Darn termites!!

 

[Band Saw Box]

I've done a few of those. You should be able to fix it

Your bowl must be blessed since its "holey" :biggrin:

Happens to us all.

I have smaller and larger walnut blanks, so I'll probably glue one to each end and hopefully end up with a segmented bowl that looks like I planned it that way all along. This figured maple is too gorgeous to throw away so I have to try something.

 

[lorbay]

Ha. Ha. Turned a few of those in my time.:frown::frown:

Been there, done that.

 

[TattooedTurner]

Good to know I'm not alone!

 

[Lucky2]

That's easily repaired, there's no need to throw it to the trash. I think a nice segmented circle would look good, all you need to repair it is a set of Cole jaws.

One of the reasons I don't like to use the interior tenon hold... I go through the bottom on too many of them.... or have the bottom too thin.

As was suggested, a walnut plug the size of your tenon, glue it in and put a foot on the bowl... just a new design.

 

[TattooedTurner]

Thanks guys. I have a set of cole jaws, and I think just putting a walnut foot on the bowl will be much easier than adding a rim and base. Simple is better....
