Cootamundra Wattle and Resin Bowl

[Bob Wemm]

Finally got this finished, it has been laying around for about 2 years, being partly done. The blank was very fragile and had some really big holes in it. SO, heaps of resin, CA and wood hardener etc,:biggrin: it is finally done.

Most of the initial turning was done with a series of radiator hose clamps holding it together.

The bowl is about 8in X 3in and is finished with 3 coats of Wipe on Poly.

Thanks for looking and C&C are welcome.

PS. It's a keeper because SWMBO really likes it.
Bob.

Well Bob, was never a doubt that, this blanks was requiring some very fine hands to complete what nature gave us, I may the one that salvage that log from total destruction, something not far off from the condition I found it, careful chain saw work, made it round(ish), was only one person I knew, apart from myself that would be "mad" enough to even consider work with it, you took the challenged and the result, is in front of everyone, that's no magic, its a lot of work and perseverance, I knew you make that piece of wood proud so, congrats mate, you done it again (time is irrelevant...!):wink:

Great colour resin, perfect match...!

Cheers
George

Wattle you think of next?:wink: That is one magnificent bowl and you've expertly blended the resin with the figure so that it looks so natural. Well done, sir. Well done.
