    Default My second bowl

    This is the second bowl I've made now, really starting to like it. The wood is from an old red gum sleeper. Before I turned it was completely grey but as I started turning it the red colour began to appear. It’s 160mm wide and sanded to 1200 and finished with shellawax cream.

    Mmm... nice figure! And it looks like that bowl has already found it's purpose.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    You've done well mate.
    Redgum is and will always be my favourite.
    The variety of figure and colour along with the density of the stuff is great, especially for bowls. It's readily available and cheap as well! (For us in oz anyway..)

    I consistently get more 'wow' factor from people when I give them items turned from redgum.

    Well done that is a nice bowl

    I don't get red gum up here but it sure does look like nice timber

    Nice job
    I wish my second bowl was that good - even my 10th or my 20th

    Beautiful job. I have a red gum house stump my son gave me. Hope what I make from it looks as nice as your bowl.
    Cheers,
    Shirley
