Thelessons on the lathe continue. This weeks is a pot pouri bowl

Timber Sasafras from Exador

Finish EEE and shellawax glow thank you Neil

Had a dry piece fall out when roughing it out left as a feature

[dai sensei]

Looks great Sam.

Is hollowing the next lesson? That way you can expand the area for the pot pourri itself.

[Gil Jones]

Fine looking bowl, Sam, nice wood too. Keep up the good work.
My 2¢ worth (slightly off topic) is that all those little round thingies are a visual distraction.

[Simomatra]

Thanks Neil

This was to be a hollowing lesson as well but the feature in the side stopped that. Took it as far as I was game. :p

Hollowing next time

[Simomatra]

Cheers Gil

Thats the wifes input to tyr and liven up the pic :D :D

[Wayne Blanch]

Nice work Sam:cool: , Thats a nice bit of wood, and the feature accentuates the work I reckon.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

I like it. The knot could have been epoxied back in and the gaps filled, so you could hollow a bit more.

But I think I would've made the same choice as you: left it as a feature. It looks effective and how much dead vegetation do you really need to make a pong? :rolleyes:

Nice piece.

[Simomatra]

Thanks Wayne appreciated

There was no option to put the knot back in as there was only a dried out hole there when it was roughed out. The other option was to put a contrasting plug in there but the feature won. The piece was very dry.

That looks good and i love the caractor the bowl .My first one was to shallow.

[OGYT]

I think ya done good. Nice form, no matter how deep. I need to do some of these. Thanks for posting these pics.

[Ashore]

Good stuff sam , but how about a battery led inside to give it nice glow and so you keep your hand in for when you go back to work :D
