Birch Bowl

[kludge77]

Rescued this birch log from the city dump in September. Got about 4 small blanks from it. Here is the first one that has been re-turned.

Birch 6" diam 3" high. Shellac then danish oil.

The drying left it a little out of round, as you can see from the rim thickness.

No scraper (for hollowing) all bowl gouge. Which is a first for me. Also first bowl with the sorby sandmaster. A good little tool.

C&C welcome.

Very handsome bowl, and ultra cool that you rescued it from the dump.

Looks great! The "rescued" ones always turn out to be the best....works for cats...works for logs.....and dogs.....

Very nice. The out of round is a "feature" of the wood. Makes it unique. <G>

Great find and great save on your part.

Great bowl!

Pretty much all wooden bowls are going to "move" a little after turning it's the nature of the beast I think. But in the end it doesn't distract from their beauty or functionality.

Very nice bowl. Looks like a keeper.
