A lady asked me if I made yarn bowls I wasn't sure what one was. So she showed me some pictures and I told her I would try. I had been given a large maple log by a friend so wanted to try turning some of that. I has some splating and been attracted by the ambrosia beetle.
This was the first bowl like this I had turned I left the walls thick because I watched a video which said you want the bowl heavy so it stays put while the yarn is pulled through the hold.
My biggest problem was tear out under the rim and then cutting the slot to the hole. sanding the slot and hole was time consuming but worth the effort. The lady bought it the same day I finished it.
Finish is Doctor's Woodshop Walnut Finishing Oil.
