Made from Australian Jarrah.
Approx 210mm diam x 110mm high.
Offset ribbon basket weave on bowl rim using left and right hand cutter.
Bottom flutes done by using 50mm diam power carving blade and set at reducing angle.

Cheers Edwards :)

Nice Jarrah for starters Bronte.

The use of the ribbon cutters looks great and then the power carver tool:2tsup:

Ok a few questions
The Ribbon cut is straight off the tool maybe a quick brush to clean up.
The power carver was there further clean up required.
What finish??

Ray, yes the basket weave is straight off the vertical cutter. I always use a brush for final finish to eliminate any loose fibres.
I use oil finish on all projects that have OT detail. Any other form just fills the fine detail you have worked hard to create.
The power carving blade with its numerous rounded teeth seemed worth a chance so gave it a go. To my surprise it worked a treat and required minimal hand sanding which was easy to get at.
This bowl was committed as a present before I started it so it was hard to let it go but it still looks great when I do see it.
The jarrah took the bold pattern quite well but would possibly be too fibrous for fine detail.

Cheers

Mark, jarrah is a tough dry wood but good high speed steel tools handle it okay.
Always has great rich red colour and comes up well with an oil finish.
Good luck.
