bowl

This week I turned my first non-spindle item. A small wood container from some hard maple I got out of a Cincinnati subdivision. Not great but I learned a lot. 3-1/2 OD, 3-1/4 ID, 1-7/8 Tall, 1-5/8 Deep.

I was commissioned by a friend to build one of these for her sister for Christmas. She apparently liked it a lot because her husband asked for another set for him to give to her for Christmas. Nothing too fancy - I've only turned maybe 10 - 12 bowls so far but I think it came out pretty decent.

Still very new to bowl turning, but starting to figure some things out. Made this for Christmas. Maple I picked up at a cheap sale price... wish i would have gotten more!

This is a small 8 inch diameter bowl made from cherry. I used Danish oil to finish it. I gave this one to my wife to take to school and use as a candy bowl.

Hello! Been around here for a while now i haven't posted any of my pens up but I've decided I must share my KOA bowl. The bowl is 7.5 inches wide and 2.25 inches tall, I had some scary moments along the way however everything worked out! Thanks for looking! C&C Encouraged!

Made this bowl from 4x4 pieces of Corian I received as a bonus in the PR trade. I was amazed at how often I had to sharpen the chisels. This stuff was amazingly hard. What do you think?

*shamelessly copied from my post at smc* :biggrin: Here are three bowls that I've done over the past week. The first one is cherry with an offset walnut cross going through it. It is approx. 5 inches in diameter and about 2 inches tall. The second one is Australian Blackwood. I really like...

Brian (Txbatons) alerted us to some juniper that was available so I grabbed some. I am always looking for free wood and had never turned juniper. I roughed out some bowls from the smaller peice and wrapped them up to dry. Juniper is bad to crack and sure enough, I got to practice filling...

For your interest here are a couple of bowls I knocked up during the week. The lighter one is White Top burl and I can't remember the species I used for the darker one but will edit this post to include later.

Here's gamecall number one, and lifetime bowl number 8 or 9? I've lost track of the number of bowls I've made... They're presents for the couple who made the red wine for my wedding...

I'm really enjoying the bowl aspect of turning. I've had a few blowouts on some nice blanks so I needed to take a break. Was interesting to try to keep the lines of the bowl flowing from the bottom to the top. I need to figure out a way to get the top half of the bowl to flow straight down into...

This is a 6 inch by 3 inch sycamore bowl I recently finished. Inside and outside are round, but the lip is oval shapped. I rough turned it about 5 months ago and after drying the distortion was so great that I started to make fire wood out of it. On closer examination I measured the wider and...
