My 3rd turning (1st lidded bowl)
Here are some pics of my first lidded bowl I have turned and only my 3rd bowl. And it only took about a litre of blood and 3 stiches, paring lid of and went toooooo deep for a short handled tool, tool caught and pulled my hand into the wood. (at least I know it was a clean sharp edge
)
Wood is Tassie Myrtle burl and finish is - sanded to 1500 (overkill???) followed by eee and finally shellawax cream.prove how bored u really are, ..... visit....... http://burlsburlsburls.freespaces.com/ my humble website

Nice work Rowan, well done.
I don't think 1500 is overkill for fine-grained timber at all.
But what it's crying out for is a finial glued into the lid hole .. something black would be close to the current fashion ;-}Cheers, Ern

wish I could even contemplate a finial but personally I think they ruin the look of a lidded bowl.

Hey, nice job on the bowl with the lid. Keep up the good work. BTW - Keep posting images of your projects.
