Cherry Bowl Cherry Bowl Cherry Bowl Click the pictures to enlarge them

I had to unwind at times waiting for stain or glue to dry and the best way for me to do that is to whip up a bowl. This is cherry with a walnut ring around the top. Only the second time I’ve turned cherry and found it to turn much like green wood. Used my termite on much of the inside. I used a light cherry stain and polywipe. enjoy. jockmike2

Lovely, now it just needs a bunch of cherries in it and it will be complete and full circle. Seed to tree.

A termite is a tool with a round hollow end that is razor sharp on both edges and it has one edge larger than the other, they come in different sizes from about 1/4 to 1/2 inches used mainly for hollow cutting on the lathe. It works good for reaching deep into a bowl with a small opening or just hollowing out any end grain wood. Jockmike hope that helped Don, its kind of hard to explain. You can see the tool at woodcraft and type in termite in the search.

Thanks, I just said that, when I was waiting for glue to dry I was lying flat on my back, not doing more work. I’m not crazy. Ok, I lied. When I got fed up with that darn table, I’d start on the lathe, doing something. I had to try to keep the dust down. So it was’nt often or for long. Thanks for the kind words. jockmike
