I made this bowl & eggs set for our dining table this weekend. The bowl is Osage Orange & the eggs are Eucalyptus, Camphor, & Walnut plus two Spectraply.
I need to work on my egg shapes, but I'm trying to develop a free-hand technique without using templates or egg chucks. I have made some with templates & an egg chuck (good tutorial in our library) in the past. While those turned out a little nicer, I enjoy doing them free handed more.
Eggs are not perfectly uniform in nature, even from the same species of bird, so I don't think we should get overly concerned about making uniform wooden eggs either.
I plan to make more eggs & maybe some stands for them over the next couple of weeks.
