Poplar Bowl

[Bob Wemm]

I cored the middle out of this blank about 12 months ago and have finally finished the last piece. I'm a bit disappointed that the sealer I used has darkened the wood a bit and reduced the effect of the red color.

Finished size is 11in x 4in, and has 3 coats of WOP with a light sand between coats.

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy.

Bob.

It looks great but I think it may leak!:biggrin:

Well not, if the bowl is going to be used as a salad bowl otherwise, Bob can always rely on some cork from my wood collection (cork wood), and make a cork to fit the hole. Actually, talking about "holes", Bob has suggested to me yesterday, to make myself a cork to be used for a "particular" situation I encounter, should play if safe and send the raw cork for him to make 2 cork plugs to the correct sizes and test both himself before he send 1 back to me...!:wink::biggrin:

As for the Bowl Bob, the Poplar still shows a lot of character and grain so, the little discolouration you mentioned, have not spoiled much, in my view...!

Great large size and plenty deep, well done, mate...!

PS: Please, don'r forget about those corks...!

Cheers

beautiful workmanship I really like the knot hole. IMHO it adds depth and character to the piece

It's a beautiful bowl! The poplar has very nice figures and even the hole added some character to it. The finish is great as well.

To the tune of Bellefonte's "There's a hole in the bowl, Eliza, there's a hole in the bowl"

Love it... beautiful piece of work.
