    Default Simple Bowl

    I think that I needed to keep this form simple as the grain says it all. Turned from Spalted Beech and is 10" diameter and I have gone back to my first finishes I started using when I began turning and that is sealer, burnished and then canuba wax.

    I could not make my mind up about the chucking point so left it in as the base is quite wide I think in this case it breaks the foot up.

    This is for someone who donated some nice pieces of wood to my slowly growing store.

    Stunning piece of timber, and lovely shape.
    You would get a lot more jelly beans in it if you enlarged the bowl bit, but I do like it as it is.

    Well done,

    Alan...

    Derek,

    Stunning timber and a great appreciation gift.

    I tend to agree that the inside of the bowl could be a big larger for the rim seems a tad to big, alternative I would slant the rim downwards on the outside a bit so that the eye is not drawn to the rim but to the inside of the bowl.

    But they are just my personal preferences.

    Peter.

    I would be tempted to turn this one thin and see of I could get some more of the spalting to show on the inside.

    Cheers

    That is a nice "dish", too big for a platter and too small for a bowl. If it satisfies what you were after, then it is perfect. But I agree with the others, if it were mine I would have made the hollow a larger, but then it is not mine.

    Thank you all for the comments much appreciated.

    I did think of making the bowl larger but decided to go with what I did the reason being that you know what people are like in that some will fill a bowl with ............. (I'll leave it to you to fill in the blank) so the idea is that if it is filled then it still leaves the rim in plain sight hopefully allowing the wood grain still to be seen.

    Now that is a question for a separate post how deep does a dish have to be before it becomes a bowl

    A very interesting piece and the logic you have in regards to leaving the rim a little larger. Gives a different perspective and some thought for the next item I make that has similar type of figure.

    You can always turn your money boxes and then you have the best of both worlds.

    If I had 3 or 4 of these blanks I would make 3 or 4 different bowls. You have done what you have and I think it's a great use of the blank. You can always do something different and somemay be better or worse. Thank you for posting.
