Eucalypt Burl Bowl
Hi All
This is the eucalypt bowl I have been working on. This is by far the most challenging bit of wood I have come across in my short time turning. The walls are a little thick (about 5mm) as I was a little worried of destroying it. It is about 15cm across and 10cm tall. I think it is also the deepest bowl i have tried so far which was a little scary extending the tools. Its far from perfect but I think it is a beautiful bit of timber full of character.

What's wrong with posting your photos directly to the forum?

Well done.
Since when is 5mm a bit thick? Relax.
The gum lines would make it a challenge, but even without them 5mm is fine.Graeme

Hi Sturina, you have elected a very showy timber and with your hands you could have extracted everything beautiful that existed in his interior, congratulations, greetings from Canary Islands.
I wonder why buy rice and flowers? Rice is to live and flowers to have something to live for. Confucio

G'day Sturina, nice job on that bowl, have done a few eucalypt burls that look very similar with the gum lines etc. Not easy to turn, well done.

Hi sawdust maker. When I tried to post direct it wouldn't let me. It kept coming up with a message regards incorrect security tokens. Most times I try to post direct but if me and my computer don't agree I post this way.
Thanks for the comments guys, never occurred to me to put the tool rest in the bowl. Will definitely remember next time.

In a couple of years time - or even less - the link will be useless and thus this thread
Nice wood and bowl but I especially dislike having to go elsewhere to look at the picciesregards
