jarrah bowl

Project by Broda posted 99 days ago 294 views 0 times favorited 10 comments Add to Favorites Watch

small bowl turned out of jarrah
that grey area is actually the sapwood

this bowl took me 1 whole week to make; i had just finished the bottom and was about to reverse it when my lathe belt snapped (insert angry face)

130 mm across by 35mm deep (5 inches by 1 3/8ths deep)

finished with EEE Ultra Shine and Shellawax

thanks for looking
comments and critiques welcome

I hate when that happens.

The sapwood gives it nice character.

Nice looking bowl. I like the treatment on the bottom. The bottom treatment is always that little surprise when you turn it over.

That’s it; I’m starting to save up for a lathe starting today!
I want to make projects that nice!
It came out beautifully.
I am curious as is Sharad; what is EEE?
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks everyone

sharad and woodwrecker- EEE ultra shine is a cut and polish abrasive wax that you friction polish onto the work before you apply a product called shellawax which is also friction polished into the wood.
the EEE wax continues your sanding from 600 grit up to 3-4 thousand grit for an ultra smooth finish

Great looking bowl. The sapwood gives it more charecter. Thanks for the info on EEE. Really like the bottom of this. (I need a chuck) It gives it maore of a proffesional look.

Keep it up.
