    Default Walnut and Silver ash bowl

    This is the latest offering from the shed. It measures 320mm diameter and 145mm high. Wall thickness is an even 8mm. Made from black walnut and silver ash. Still not happy with the detail, so another one is in the making and will be finished in a couple of weeks time. Finished with three rubbed coats of sanding sealer and three coats of lacquer, and sanded up to 1200# wet and dry. Finally buffed up with Ubeaut EEE. Still tossing up whether I should make a lid for it, or not.

    WOW Jim, that looks incredible.

    Nice contrast between the two timbers, and the finish looks great.

    Not sure what detail your not happy with, but it looks good from here.

    Default HaHa too slow Old fella,

    Now if you had finished that 3 weeks ago, and entered it in the Townsville Show comp, you would have beat me it is so good. Good to see you keeping up your excellent standard Jim,
    regards,
    Crocy.

    Jim, the maker of this gorgeous segmented bowl sees not so perfected details.
    I don't see them, seeing only a wizardry with segments and amazing craftmanship.
    Hat off for you.

    Wow. Segmented stuff is not usually my cup of tea but this one is a clear exception. Agree that no lid is needed. Great proportion, shape and amazing attention to detail. I cant begin to imagine the skill or patience required for this. Top job. john

    Oooer! Noice!

    I think that a finialled black walnut lid could set it off nicely.

    It stands quite well by itself, but there'd be a moment when the lid was removed and that li'l feature inside was revealed that'd add that bit of Wow factor, y'know?
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
