    Default 16" radiata winged bowl

    I've made referrences to this $#%^in' thing in a couple of other posts, so I guess I should show the final result. It really should have a bit more sanding, but with the dramas I had I thought "enough's enough" and it can stay as it is. The pix don't do it justice, but my pix never do.

    Made from a 16" offcut of a 16"x4" laminated pine beam and finished with Rustin's Danish Oil. It's surprisingly light; although I deliberately left the wing and rim chunky (thin pine breaks too easily and just doesn't look right in my books) the bottom was turned down to around 3-4mm thickness.

    Makes a lovely drumming sound when turned upside down.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    I didn't really have any say in that, other eyes saw it on the lathe and started dropping not so subtle hints. Oddly enough, it may only be radiata but now I'm getting rather heavy hints from other lady folk that they want one too!

    I can't complain... it has been a while since I've seen any squabbles over ownership of any of my pieces and it does feel good.

    No.


    A bit embarassing, considering I always advise others...

    Well, I think it's better than just "pretty good." Very nice crisp edges; also the droops at the corners.

    I must have missed the news about finger(s) bustup. Hope repairs are well along or done.

    Hi Skew, I like that style of turning. A little more interesting than a normal bowl. Have you done many in that style before?

    What are the dark lines in the laminations? Dark glue?

    Nice job, Skew. Keeping the edges even is the hardest part for me. I turned one from a 1x12 just for the heck of it & see if I could do it. The wife's question, "What's the reason for it. What's it good for?" A challenge, even if we use it for a worthless frisby, it's the challenge, & constantally remembering those wings. Sorry to hear of you're accident. Don't remember reading anything on here about it, but then, I wouldn't post it either. Just hope you're doing better. Keep up the good work.

    Nice one Skew. When I had a go at turning a bowl from these beams I found the glue between the laminates tended to blunt the chisels and also if not careful it would smug into the pine when sanding. Did you find this.
