    Default Camphor & Black wood

    Hi All
    Although I have "retired" I still love to try my hand when the opportunity presents itself
    Did these 2 at Mens Shed last week.
    the Camphor bowl is 150 x 100 high and with the Knot I just had to turn it.
    sanded to 400, EEE and 3 coats of Shelawax cut with EEE between coats

    The clock is a gift for family that are coming to visit next week from Northern Ireland (SWIMBO's idea so I had to rush to the shed)
    It is a nice lump of Victorian Black wood, sanded to 400 and 5 coats of Danish oil it is around 210 in DIA and aout 50 mm thick at the centre

    It is when I get a chance to do something like this that I realise just how much I miss the thrill of a lump of wood spinning in front of you challenging you to make something from it

    Thanks for looking
    Regards
    Bowl Basher

    I can turn large lumps of wood into very small bowls

    Nice work on the clock and bowl.

    Always good to see a different presentation of a clock. It has given me an idea.

    Beautiful pieces BB.

    I'm sure your visitors will love the clock, handmade gifts always go down well. A great reminder of their time with your family in Oz.

    Steven.
