    Default Alder bowl

    Spend my time partly last week with making a pretty big alder bowl with the dimensions of DxH 300x180mm. Wallthickness 12mm.
    Finished with three layers blanc transparent lacquer.
    Thanks for looking.
    Cheers. Ad

    Top Bowl.
    I was wondering what it looked like i have a trunk in my garage 1.5meters high by 500mm diameter. I was wondering to slab it or make bowls. Looks like plenty of grain paterns as it has a lot of buble type burly looking bits out the side.

    Regards
    Jamie

    Thanks Jamie, I have 5 more suchs big alder trunks of that size in my woodstore waiting for there turn. I agree, you can cut them into slabs, very nice for flatwork.
    But using this big trunk for bowls would be a good alternative, so think carefully what you are going to do with your trunk. Wish you good luck.

    Very nice, Ad. The flare at the rim really sets it off.

    Cheers,
