Australian Burl Winged Bowl

[woodArtz]

Here's a winged bowl I finally finished. The wood is an Australian Brown Mallee burl. These winged bowls are a lot of fun since you have the equivalent of a saw blade spinning a 1/2" from your knuckles the whole time you're turning :wink_smil. I finished the bowl with Behlens SBF.

Wow! Very cool. I'd imagine that's intimidating rotating around the lathe with all those little burl spikes!

WOW Bob, that looks amazing! I remember you describing it to me at the turning demo, but you certainly gave a modest description. Is this one for you to keep and show off or will you be selling this bowl?

 

[Trent Mason]

Whoa!

Bob, when I grow up I want to turn bowls like you! :notworthy:

That is a spectacular piece of work Bob. Very, very, nice. As has been said, I imagine it could be a bit intimidating.

 

[McRabbet]

A beautiful piece of wood deserves the outstanding work you gave it -- very, very nice piece, Bob.

Just one year??? I guess timeless art can take a long time.

What a magnificant piece of wood. You did it justice. Awesome work Bob.

 

[woodArtz]

Thanks for the kind words guys!

I'll probably sell this one.. unless LOML gets too attached :wink_smil.

Great piece
and what a piece of wood!
Knuckles are expendable, right?
(at least bandaids are cheap)
