Camphor & Black wood

[bowl-basher]

Hi All
Although I have "retired" I still love to try my hand when the opportunity presents itself
Did these 2 at Mens Shed last week.
the Camphor bowl is 150 x 100 high and with the Knot I just had to turn it.
sanded to 400, EEE and 3 coats of Shelawax cut with EEE between coats

The clock is a gift for family that are coming to visit next week from Northern Ireland (SWIMBO's idea so I had to rush to the shed)
It is a nice lump of Victorian Black wood, sanded to 400 and 5 coats of Danish oil it is around 210 in DIA and aout 50 mm thick at the centre

It is when I get a chance to do something like this that I realise just how much I miss the thrill of a lump of wood spinning in front of you challenging you to make something from it

Thanks for looking
Regards
Bowl Basher

Beautiful pieces BB.

I'm sure your visitors will love the clock, handmade gifts always go down well. A great reminder of their time with your family in Oz.
