Lace sheoak bowl.
Hi, this is Joash........again
Here is another of my bowls. It is Lace Sheoak-------out of our timber
Sanded to 2500 g, and finished with shellawax cream. Pictures don't do it justice. 235mmx70mm. I think this is one of my favourite pieces. What are your comments/suggestions...........critiscim ? Post anything you want about it. I'm all ears....eyes:confused: Thanks for looking,
Regards.........Joash
Oh and ah, that is a picture of me holding one of my burls, it is a flooded gum burl, and will be entered into the 2007 W.A wood show(when its finished of course

G'day Joash
Beautiful bowl. In pict 4 the lip of the rim looks like it needs a bit more scraping/sanding otherwise great job.
Was the flooded gum burl flattened with a Woodwizz router table?Cheers

More burl pics
Here is another couple of pictures of the burl. I have put water on it to bring out the grain. What are your ideas for shapes/ideas etc: As you could see when I was holding it, it is a very large burl, and I don't want it to go to waste.

How thick is it? If it's more than a few inches, a bowl saver would possibly pay for itself on the first use...

The blank is 130mm thick. Where can I get one of those bowl savers at the cheapest price? Thanks for all the nice comments.

Sorry, that was a bit of tongue-in-cheek. Originally Posted by Auzzie turner

I wouldn't be surprised to see certain timber suppliers around here asking close to that figure for similar sized burls, though.

bowls are good
Joash,
Hmmm interesting name....anyway the bowl looks good. Heres my 10cents worth, maybe look at taking more out of the centre under the curved lip to increase the internal area.
The burl, nice very nice....sigh. Maybe look at a wok type shape to really show of the colour and grain structure and use organoil hard burnishing oil, wet sanding several times. This will bring up a glass smooth surface, after its dried, you can put on as much shine or not as you wish on it.
Heres a few bowl shapes I pulled off the net for inspiration.
keep the piccys coming, your getting better at this turning stuff

Hi Joash
Love that sheoak!!! I like the bowl, though I find the top lip section unusual i.e. I haven't seen a lip like that before
Keep up your great work. I've been thoroughly enjoying seeing your work and how you have really improved with all the helpful feedback you've received from the forum. (gee, that has a bit of de ja vu in it )
Cheers
