    Default Had to fluke one sooner or later!!!

    Haven't posted any of my work up here for a while but thought this one worthy of a look. I've never tried to follow the outer curve of a blank to leave a line of sapwood all the way round the outside with no sapwood showing on the inside but sometimes wondered if it might happen one day - and it did!!! Sally wattle from my daughters yard and off the top of me 'ed it would be about 300x170ish! Originally planned to carve the foot into feet but then I would have lost the line of sapwood - and it's only going to some bl00dy Victorian anyway

    Nice one, what did you finish it with?

    I love the side grain in Sally Wattle, the end grain can be a bit of a bugger.

    Hey Vern , If it's on going to some bl00dy Victorian, maybe a few blanks of Sally Wattle with it would be ok. regards John.

    Oh to 'Fluke' one like that - beautiful effect. Does Sally Wattle have any other names as both the heartwood grain and sapwood colour resemble what I know as laburnium?

    Fluke or no its a fine bowl, nice touch the bead up on the top of the lip. Gotta be happy with that one Vern

    Only wish Sally wattle grew closer to home.
