This is my second attempt at making a ring master bowl without the plug-ugly plug. I have a Jet JWL 1236 lathe and a lathe mounted RM. I won't bore you with the step by step, but here is the end result. I used an 8+" x .75" piece of the "gold filled" Ziricote I purchase a couple of weeks ago. The bowl has been sanded to 600 with Abranet and wiped with DNA. I haven't decided on a final finish yet. C, C, & Q welcome.

Great looking bowl.

I would like to be bored by the details as I'm about to start using my RM and would like to make bowls without the plug. :)

This makes the ringmaster bowls step up and become what they should have been from the start. Now you're going to make me look really hard for a 'deal' on one of these.....who am I kidding, these are still pretty expensive, and no one is going to give theirs up.


Nice piece of timber!!!

If you want to make a bowl out of a board and do not have a Ring Master, Michael Mode (:: Michael Mode ::) uses his lathe to cut the rings. I saw one of his demos at the AAW Symposium in Tampa. While is does take a bit of practice (especially getting the angles right) you will save the cost of a RM.:)
