    Default Gidgee bowl

    Here we go a small Gidgee bowl about 5 dia by 3 high. Power sanded, EEE polished, then rubbed down with meths/DNA, one coat of Organoil and left to dry. It still needs a final buff to finish it off.

    The Gidgee is courtesy of TTIT..thanks Vern, I find it great to turn and takes a polish like you would not believe.

    I would appreciate your valuable input.

    Excellent profile and finish, nice timber is'nt it? Are those sanding marks I see inside? What did you use to sand/finish the inside? I like the shape you have on it,

    Regards.......Joash

    I knew I would not get away with it.......... .your right they are sanding marks inside. I will deal with them when I buff it..
    Sanding inside, I use a foam backed 20mm dia disk in a pistol drill and my finger stuck in around the corner...ouch.:eek:

    beautiful line,colour, selection. the eye just glides around it without impediment.

    On the middle picture - have you finished the base yet?.

    that's a keeper.

    Love the overall form, not too sure about the base. Lovely piece just the same, nice workmanship.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Lovely form, Hughie. It actually radiates "warmth" !! A bit "warm and fuzzy", I know, but that was my immediate impression!

    your piece of gigee is quite red

    this is out of gigee (pic) and it is very dark brown even black. Seems to have a big colour spectum (but now that i think about it a fair few do as well)

    beautiful timber though, must have been well monitiored in the drying process,
    it cracks a s:eek:load.

    nice pice, great form, top job.

    Hughie, this Gidgee bowl qualifies for a big WOW!! It sure is a fine looking piece, nice curves, very smooth finish, and beautiful wood.

    Claude, I figured they would find all or any faults..... we are all to aware of the mistakes we make............... not to worry.

    Skew, Tashammer, your right the base is very ordinary, so much so I am considering rechucking and removing it altogether. I like to get another opinion or two........... get to close the forest sometimes to see the trees.

    I appreciate all comments, thanks
