Lidded bowl

[VisExp]

I've had a lot of encouragement from a couple of guys in my woodturning club to put some of my pen designs in some larger turnings. This was my first attempt.

It was actually supposed to be a six sided bowl, but I had a "design opportunity" along the way

The bowl is hard pear, the lid is white milkwood inlaid with veneer and the finial is black alder.

I learned a lot doing this and have got more ideas that I plan on trying.

Man I can't even do a normal bowl and here you are doing these amazing works of art.

Super looking design. What are the deminsions?

Wow that is a beautiful lidded bowl. Great design. I just started turning lidded bowls. They are fun to make. Haven't tried one that complex yet.

Very nice design and your turning skills are evident in this piece?

Keith,
The bowl looks great, very nice work.
Can't wait to see what you are planning next!

Wonderful job Keith! Keep going

Just remember segments need to be a little thicker than plain wood (your thickness is fine and you could probably go a little thinner, but not super thin.)

Keith, that is a wonder bowl design. We do not learn if we do not challenge ourselves.

Keith, I like what you did with the adaptation of this design! I think that the segmentation compliments the dome shape very well. Cool finial too!

Beautiful and striking.. A real winner!:biggrin::tongue:

 

[markgum]

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Super looking design. What are the deminsions?

About 6" diameter by 5" high

Are you going to put a tutorial in the Library for this? :biggrin: Just kidding. Beautiful work!

I took some pictures while I was making it and am working on a blog entry about it.

Man, Keith, that is awesome. the lid is a deeper bowl than the bowl itself. Fantastic design and execution.
