    Default Bowls: Finished and WIP

    Here's a few bowls I've made or am in the process of making.

    Is there a special thread for WIP? I couldn't find one but it's not much of a process to make a bowl so, probably not worth a WIP thread on it's own.

    These are all made from what I call "nubs" and I usually let the shape of the wood dictate how I carve them. Nubs are those bulges where a branch is starting to grow.

    This first 3 pics are a WIP of an unknown type of gum. The next 2 are another bowl WIP. Unknown wood.

    Then there's a camphor bowl with the bark left on. And possibly a red gum bowl.

    I carve the bowl out with an arbotec or mini and finish with file sander and hand sanding. the two finished bowls just have a coat of linseed oil, but I'm not satisified with the finish. I used linseed so they could be used for food if desired. I have since discovered the ubeaut food oil, which I'll try next time.

    No worries Tim.

    I love working with these "nubs" because of the interesting deformities you find inside.

    I haven't been woodworking lately, but am waiting for the concrete slab to dry so I can start erecting my shed and then I'll update with some more progress. I've had to work n the verandah, creating a lot of mess. I can't wait to have a shed to work in!
