    Default Coolabah burl bowl

    G'day
    Here's a winged coolabah bowl that I have just finished . It's 380mm maximum width and 95mm high. The finish is DO . This was a commision job that arose from our recent club sales .
    Just for interest the third photo shows how I hold this type of bowl to take the tennon off.
    Hope you like
    Ted

    agree with all of the above, but mostly I appreciate your 3rd photo. Always good to see how problems are tackled

    thanks

    This was actually roughed out a couple years ago from a partially dry burl and the centre was cored out too so there was not a lot of work to do to finish it off . I do sharpen pretty frequently. Just a lick on the CBN wheel is all it takes .

    The timber, workmanship and finish are all great but the slight downward tip of the rim distracts me and just ever-so slightly spoils it for me.

    However that is the positional image of the photograph, probably not easily seen when on a tabletop as an actual item.

    Damn fine job whatever my thoughts.

    Might be just a personal taste thing - I like it the way it is and do the same thing to most bowls I turn in that style.
