I have been asked about gluing up stock for turning bowls. This is possible - The picture below shows one I did a couple of years ago when I first started turning Finial Lidded Bowls.
I got al little carried away on the length of the finial - otherwise it is a fairly nice piece.
The base is turned from Cocobolo
The bowl, lid and finial is American Wormy Chestnut.
This is a plain unfinished piece - simple sanded with a bit of wax applied at the time. It could use a little something to bring back the vivid coloring of the wood.
The inside center of the lid has a 1/4 carat faceted Citrine Stone set for an embellishment.
The top of the Finial as a set Silver Rose.
If anyone is interested in the American Wormy Chestnut - I have blanks listed in the clasified thread area....any custom cut request can be sent via PM.
I hope you enjoy checking out the bowl, I would love to hear your feedback....But remember to be kind this was only my 3rd of 4th lidded bowl that I had turned at this point....
Thanks
Kevin
