Thread: Simple Turnings

After seeing such amazing detailed and skilled work from other members I have been a little reluctant to post the basic bowls I have been turning out. But one has to start somewhere

All of the turnings have been made from trees that has either been burnt down, collected from storm damage or unwanted timber that was going to be woodchipped or sent to the tip.

A couple of gifts I sent in the post earlier this month:

E. Minita bowl 200mm.
Timber from neighbours felled tree. Arborists were going to dispose the timber and kindly set some aside for me to collect







Erythrophleum chlorostachys. 200mm natural edge bowl
Timber from tree burnt down earlier this year


The profile looks odd from this angle. Photo quickly taken outside post office after realising I hadnt taken any pics
Bowl height about 50mm







Erythrophleum chlorostachys. 250mm Ogeen bowl twice turned
~ 100kg of timber rescued from Caravan park. Tree had been cut down and timber left in the elements for about a month
I asked the park managers if I could take the timber and turn them a bowl in return.
The manager was very happy to take this back home to Tassie after waiting for a few months
