This is a little bowl made out of Ash. Seen some ceramic bowls with this shape, but it's the first time I've tried to duplicate it in wood. :D
It's 5.25" diameter X 2.5" tall. (13.3cm X 6.3cm) Lacquer wash, Woll Wax rubdown, Carnauba buff.
What's it good for? :confused:

I already said it, lovely colour and nice finish.

Incidently, how much thickness did you leave in the lower wall and the base as i often find folks forget about the location of the centre of gravity (COG) with the result that a form can be very unstable when it has a high COG and very stable when the COG is low?

he asked politely.

Skew ChiDAMN!!

Ahhh... you don't see that form much nowadays. Not since spitoons went out of fashion. ;)

I like it a lot, but I'm an old fashioned soul. [Ptui. Ding!] :D

it reminds me of a pot that my grandmother used to keep an aspidestra in, 'cept her pot was ceramic except, back in those days, we didn't have ceramics, we had pots that were made out of pot.

I'd try for a semi closed form like this.

Hughie and Skew told me what it was for... ptui (ding) only the ding might be more of a (thunk).:eek:

Tas - left the lower part about 1/4" and the bottom around 3/8". I don't like those tilty bowls, either. :cool: Also, we have some of those pot pots around our abode. :D What's aspidestra? :eek: :eek:

Cliff, like the shape of that. May give it a try.

Never saw a joAsh tree, but if I find one, I'll try to turn somethin' from it.:D
Thanks, all, for the compliments... and the cracks.:D :D

aspidistra or aspidestra elatior also known as the cast iron plant. Very popular in Victorian England along with pot pugs in domed glass cases.
Often used as an office plant. Does well under low light conditions.
