Rsser's Black wood

[bowl-basher]

I read with interest the comments in a thread on the merits of Blackwood
bieng the proud owner of three of the bowl blanks that Ern was good enugh to get,cut and send on to some of us
I was not sure what I was in for but takeing on board all the comments about no scrapers, sharp bowl gouge only sanding at low speeds:((:((:((
I decided to give it a go and I am now a total fan,,,, it is a bit hard and I may still have a few marks on the inside surface of the bowl but I am one happy camper and I still have 2 to go:D:D
Thanks for your effot Ern
Look forward to your comments

BB Tea Lady is definitely right - the wood has no character and doesnt really have a place for wood workers. :rolleyes::smack::youcrazy::screwy:

Best send the last 2 bits to me and i will burn them for you:o:o

No really nice peice of wood and a great job.

Cheers

[ElizaLeahy]

Looks good oh to me - get the right piece of wood
and you can achieve the right results. Blackwood is
one of my favourites.:2tsup:

Nice work BB. Good to hear about the blanks.

The pile has some contrasting grain that shows clearly in your bowl. Good to see some chatoyance there too.

[Ozkaban]

I quite like that - the blackwood does look nice and you've done a nice job of it!

Cheers,
Dave

Graham, verrrry nice bowl, unknowned woodspieces for me, so I don't can tell anything about this wood, but seeing the results, I can only wish that I had some of this wood.
Great job.

Wow, your bowl and photography certainly shows off the chatoyance well :2tsup:

[Wayne Blanch]

Yep, that is one nice bowl:2tsup:. Well done and lovely timber

[OGYT]

BB, exceptional blackwood bowl. Didn't notice the Chatoyance that Neill spoke of, 'til I looked the second time. Well done. Like the extra treatment at the bottom, too!!

Anne Marie, if you would like to get rid of all those bland pieces you have, just put together a care package for me and send em' on.:U

Very nice work BB, i particularly like the raised lip round the base giving the effect of a bowl sitting in a bowl.:2tsup::2tsup:
