    Default camphour bowl

    Hi guys,
    I finished a camphour bowl today, it was full
    of figure and some burl, crotch, knots and lots
    of colour, after a few cracking moments , a bit
    of CA, and tape to hold everthing together , finally
    got there, this is the result, any comments and
    advice welcome as always!

    That started as a fair chunk of camphor! Looks great!

    smife,

    it sure looks good to me. How thin is the wall? I have not been game to make a thin bowl that has holes or is heavily cracked.

    cheers

    Awesome timber, well-turned. Good save for a piece of wood that some would have thrown into the fireplace. Nice turning pics, too!
