Good looking bowl. I like the way you did the taper…... gave the box joints a great tapered look. Very well done.

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

well i have to ask this question….what makes a bowl a bowl…....my first reaction to this was this isnt a bowl…...it looks like an oblong box….so will you reall woodworkers step up to the plate and give the correct discription of a bowl…....i dont think bowls are flat on the bottom…....so im waiting to be correcred of told what is what….....grizzman

Bowl: a round, deep dish or basin used for food or liquid
Box: a container with a flat base and sides, typically square or rectangular and having a lid

Hard to comment on the flatness of the bottom since it isn’t shown in the pictures. However, the way the corners are so nicely rounded inside and out, I’m seeing more of a bowl than box.

Great work, either way.

Excellent design, gonna make me one of these!

Box or Bowl….It is beautifull just the same. Great work and thanks for the detail on the build.

Great use of scraps! Keep it up.

Scrappy

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

An amazing piece. I love it! I’ve never seen anything like it before. It almost has a Sam Maloof look to it even though it looks totally original. I think it is wonderful when someone does something new like this. A great inspiration.

Excellent BOXL, The sides are well sloped, and the box joints are tight, the color is deep, and the over all look is appealing. I’m going to give it a 95%. (5 off for missing pic of bottom)

Currently my favorite and preferred joinery technique. I’ve made a few items that would look good next to this BOWL.

Nice results to a challenging build.

very nice thanks for posting i will try this in the near future i like the look of it
good explanation on the process hope mine looks this good

Great idea, looks terrific! Good pictures showing how you did that. I like the shape a lot…...........

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

Whether it’s a bowl that isn’t round or a box without a lid, it’s a beautiful piece and if we can argue about how to name it, it just means you thought outside the box, or bowl.

-- Bill Roberts -- Steal one idea it's called plagerism. Steal a bunch - it's called research

Unique, I like it. I’ve been imagining something like this but was having trouble figuring the angles ahead of time, your approach of sawing and rasping is interesting. Thanks for the details.

-- The Grizzone

-- Ray,Iowa

Do not change a thing and it is a bowl if you made a bowl. It looks great.
