New For Me
G'day peeps, I don't think I've ever posted in this subforum so try to be nice ok?
I'm sometimes in the section below this where the pens get shown off, I am just starting to show some stuff in the CNC place but I wanted a change tonight and cut a slice from the firewood meant for the potbelly. It's only small about 110mm diameter and 30mm deep. In another age it may have been called an Ashtray, maybe I can call it a "shelled pistachio" bowl
. Anyway thanks for looking and really I had a ball and that is why I do this stuphhhhhhh.

Perhaps the wall could have been a little thinner.

It is called a 'Nut Bowl' & they are good fun for using up small bits too good to burn.

If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

Minus, not normal to turn a bowl in that grain orientation so it's good to see someone take the rules and toss them out of the window.
I like this lots and have a few bit's of timber outside I can see this idea being tried on. Thanks for the inspiration.Dragonfly

Sorry Minus, you've done it all wrong....too much wood left and you have to polish it until its as shiny as, may even have to cut it up and glue it back together to get a really good result....etc, etc
Seriously though, if you do what you like and it comes out OK, that's all that's needed. Innovators don't follow any rules, they make them up as they go..cheers for a great unique piece.
