Walnut crotch bowl

[Dale Lynch]

Hi fellas,made this bowl for an anniversary gift.Walnut with crotch grain pattern,13x4. howards feed n wax,paste wax topcoat. I figure it to be a good fruit bowl.Don't think I can go much wider without a foot.

It would make a great nut bowl too.

Size wise it would make a great ice cream bowl if you seal it well!!!:biggrin:

Sealed well enough for me for ice cream. Won't last long enough to melt.:cowboy:

Beautiful bowl. I think it's big enough for the fruit, nuts and ice cream. No need to choose just one.

Nice looking bowl!

I seldom put a foot on my bowls but I always put a little 'dish' in the bottom so the bowl sits flat on the table.

That is a beautiful bowl and I like the crotch grain pattern. Well done

Thanks fellas,I'm glad you like it.Only lost about 1" off the dia and width from the rough blank.

Doug, I dish mine a little as well.I was just making excuses for not maxing out the swing.

Nice bowl, but I would have filled the cracks with brass or something similar

 

[Dale Lynch]

My wife asked me if I was going to fill them, I said no,I prefer to leave a natural void or bark inclusion.If it was a chunck that broke out,that I didn't thow out in angeer, I would have figured out how to fill it in.

Thanks for sharing and safe turning to you!

Yikes! Nice bowl. I really like the form. Looks like you got about all the blank had to give. Well done.
