Thread: Experimental Bowl

Very nice, I like it.

Paul

nice looking timber, and a pretty good save i reckon!

Richard, by removing of the offending area's (cracks), actually the best thing you could do, you have now, an one of a kind bowl. In my opinion a bit strange, might be for you too. I see it as a nice experiment, it has a practical use for the lady of the house, think this is the reason your wife loves it.

Worth the experiment Richard. Good on you for trying.

I think the sharp angles conflict too much with the curved shape of the bowl. Do you think it worthwhile to do something similar but make the removed segments with curves that flow from those of the bowl?

Nicely executed but I tend to agree with Art. I think it would have looked nice with a flowing curve around the rim.

Very nice!! I too would tend to agree that curves rather than sharp corners may have been more appropriate. Like I said though, very very nice, and otherwise it may have been binned. Worthy experiment.

Cheers

Nice work, great save
You've opened up a lot of possibilities with this, which will no doubt be further developed
and it's great when our loved ones immediately confiscate our efforts.

I love it too. Very nice simple "desegmentation". I think it looks fine as it is. the straight cuts are a nice contrast to the curved form. (which also looks really nice and even. )

Thanks everyone for taking time to comment. I like the idea of radiusing the sharp corners into the rim, maybe to sort of match the curvature of the sides. Will keep it in mind if/when the next burn pile candidate appears.

Strange looking natural edge bowl

Looks good to me Richard...good job

Thanks Ed. Was between projects and it ranked right up there with "something to do" that day. Was surprised that my wife liked it a lot, and the more I look at it the better I like it too.

I like it and a good save well done

Thanks R.P.
