Some Small Stuff

[Stu in Tokyo]

If you remember, I roughed out a bunch of NE bowls and such from some wood I got from the local Shinto Shrine, well, I took a stab at finishing some today, to take to Canada with me..........

Not the best pics, sorry, but I'm pressed for time.

Turned out OK, I guess, just a basic wax finish, buffed.

Sure is fussy work getting into the bottom of these smaller bowls, even with the 3/8" bowl gouge

The first pic has a Zippo lighter in it to give you some scale.

Cheers!

Nice Stu going for a holiday picking up some nice Canadian woods while there :rolleyes:

Bowls look great :2tsup:

Very nice, Stu. Have you tried an Oland tool on tiny stuff? Can even do undercuts with the cutter at 45 degrees and a vise-grip on the shank for torque control if you like.

A Zippo lighter? The new standard is batteries I think.

Bon voyage,
Joe
