    Default A couple of salvage bowls

    Rescued the burl from the banks of the Comet River after this big Blue Gum came down in the 2011 flood - rare for them to fall away from the river. Wasn't much of the bank left past the burl , just a 25' drop - was ready to go tree surfing at any time!! The bowl was turned from a piece of the side that is still attached to the tree in the photo - was for some friends who wanted a special wedding present for some friends of theirs so it was done at mates rates - very hard to part with this one . About 380x80 and finished with Kunos oil.

    The Sally wattle bowl was from the neighbours place - I watched that tree start from seed just 8 or 9 years ago when a young bloke renting the house put in a herb garden and thought it was one of his seeds coming up . It dropped a branch on Gregs ute (current owners) last summer so it didn't stand a chance and I reassured Emma I would make a memento of her tree from it. Presented it as a xmas offering - loved it to bits!!! About 300x140 and finished with Kunos oil (love that stuff!!! )

    Both nice bowls Vern, but I prefer the sally wattle bowl, both for the shape and the timber. I am not fond of burls, but that is just me,

    You certainly find some great pieces of wood that side of the world. You have made a great job of both the bowls. The second is my favourite one of the two great wood colouring and shape

    Thanks for the comments guys - much appreciated . Must admit I'm surprised the preference seems to be for the Sally bowl but it did come up very nice for such a fast grown tree.

    Forgot to mention that the Blue Gum bowl was actually supposed to be my 'instant gallery' piece (with the oil barely dry!) for Proserpine but plans changed and I couldn't make it

    Buggar! Would have been good to see these up close. The blue gum burl bowl looks great.

    Hey Vern
    I like the form of the Burl bowl, but the form and grain of the Sally is stunning, good job

    Sincerely
    Willy
