These two bowls came from the same piece of wood. I used my wood saver to salvage the inside of the larger bowl. I love my bowl saver :D
The large one is 345mm x 55mm & the little one is 195mm x 45mm. Both of the bowls are finished with three coats of Kunos Oil.
Very nice indeed Corbs :2tsup::2tsup: The shape works well for that wonderful looking figure!
Yep..very tasty indeed!!Mango is a wonderful choice as well,particularly when it looks that good.The bowl looks fantastic:2tsup::2tsup:..MM

You are a bugger!
Just when I think I have all the tools I need (my carving jig arrived tonight), I see your post which has re-ignited my need for a bowl saver. THANKS Mate!!!!!!
Edit: Very nice bowls indeed!
Sincerely

I've read that these are harder to use on hard dry woods so would probably recommend a trial run on Jarrah with one if you can get your hands on one.

Nice work Corbs, the form and grain on those bowls is superb. :2tsup:
they are really nice bowls! I must try get some mango to turn!
so many talented people on this forum!
Don't you just love it when the work comes up so well?
Great bowls from beautiful timber there Corbs.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:
Thanks again team, Mango isn't a wood I get to see much of down here in Canberra but after working with this piece I will be on the look out for more :D.
