First bowl / first segmented bowl

[Timber stacker]

I made this bowl today. It's made from 4 pieces of 190x19 standard pine board, which I got from the timber yard I used to work at. It's 180mm wide and 80mm high. I turned it on my mc900 which I've had now for 5 months. I sanded it to 1200 and finished it with shellawax cream.

In all honesty I don't really think highly of radiata in any application except structural - ie. hidden behind plaster walls :wink: - and sometimes I forget that it can, in some applications, look good.

So when are you starting on your second? Hehe.

Not bad at all. :cool: Better make the next one for Mum.:D

Good thinking! Don't have a big enough bowl blank? MAKE ONE by sticking things together!

You did very well, pine can be hard to turn smooth on the end grain, and this looks fine!

Well done! :2tsup: I kinda agree with Skew.

But at the same time its a great timber to learn on, low cost and can be difficult to finish with out very sharp tools.If you have a mate in the building industry you can get heaps of off cuts for zip.

Way to go TS...this one's a keeper. It's great to look back to the first after you've done, say, your 3000th or so and see the change in style.:o

Ya' dun good :2tsup:

Very nice bowl TS. Most would call it "laminated" or "stack-laminated" rather than segmented. Keep up the good work.
