Design is a subjective thing, but then there are no judgements without subjects to make them ;-}
Peeps post here for critique. Yes, critical judgements can be negative, biassed and dyspeptic. No harm there; it's all feedback.
They can also be affirming, informed and helpful.
I imagine the second is what you'd prefer Oldiphred, but it's often hard to make them without pointing out deficiencies.
It's surely up to the poster to ask what kind of feedback they want.
Eg. on the form, on the finishing, on the treatment given that particular blank, on detailing and on possible alternatives among all of those.Cheers, Ern

Another little bowl
Hi again
Turned another little bowl in the weekend, laburnum (don't know if this is the right name), but I love this wood. Not very healthy though.
Sanded to 600, and polished with bees wax.
The little went orbitting in the workshop, in spite that I glued it with plenty of super glue.

Hi Kaj, What dimensions are your bowls? Nice round one, but no idea of scale. (You could also make the size of the posted pictures a bit bigger. Somewhere on how to post photos is the allowed dimensions for posted pics. These ones are a bit to small to see much detail, which I would love to see.)
Bowl basher, I like that you can see the history of the timber. Maybe a bit more of it could even be kept. I guess it depends on the form you were trying for.Last edited by tea lady; 8th April 2008 at 12:27 AM. Reason: 'Nother thought.

very nice work Kaj i wonder how it would have looked with a slightly bigger rim
BB - personally, i think it looks ugly. but looking at the shadow on the background, i decided i like the shape. what i think looks ugly is the bark inclusions and the wire hole ( yep, the one you said you had to keep ). but thats something you didnt have alot of control over aye

Hi Stirlo
The "bark" looks dark in the pic is actualy the old weathered face of the frnce post it now has a simple white shade on and the "wire hole" is somewhat of a feature have got anoyher bit on the lathe and this has no hole but a big curl in the grain we will see how it turns out thanks for the comment Bowl Basher

here are a couple of closed forms.
The first is from what I was told was Sandpaper fig, very light weight timber, almost a "snak skin" pattern in the wood. There is a bit of spaulting in it as well. Size is 220mm, finish with a lacquer.
The second is a closed form made from a piece of bloodwood, 180mm in diameter, finish in lacquer. Not too sure about the shape.

My two cents.
*Fattest bit could have been a smige higher. Maybe even half a smige.
*don't know the technical term, but the little inner corner outside the rim and the footring could be a little squarer. Would make the shape seem crisper. The little curve it is now distracts from the form by picking up a reflection that sends the eye off the side or something. A more definite line/corner would hold the eye. It slides around a bit now. Might also fix up the feeling that the fattest bit should be higher. (I really need some jargon here don't I.)
Only mention it because you seem a little unsure and dissatisfied yourself of the result. It is a very nice form. Only needs tiny refining that would really put it somewhere else.anne-maria.

Looking at the pics again I notice that you have a line around the rim in first pic but not in second. Did you feel you didn't want to mar the surface of blood wood piece? Maybe tighter curve there would hold the eye more.
Just my thoughts.anne-maria.

Agree with TL that a sharper transition at the rim would work better.
And with Cliff that the foot is wide in relation to the rim. But then if you narrowed the foot you'd get a pretty extreme acorn shape - with 'power dressed shoulders'.
So it's a height to width issue and the only way out would have been to reduce the width, which is a hard call with a nice lump of timber.
That said, I'd be happy to have got half close to your lines with a semi-enclosed form.Cheers, Ern
