Bowls Various 1

Project by branch posted 23 days ago 202 views 0 times favorited 9 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Here is a selection of bowls that I turned on record lathe. I have built up the collection over the past few months. Most of the bowls are made from Spalter Beech from a local saw mill. I get most of my inspiration from what I see in nature. I believe that wood is a living material you have to find its best features and work with them. I hope you like them

Very nice…I’ve been doing some spalting on my blanks too….interesting process and nice when it works….those bowls have really nice figure in them….and you did a nice job interpreting the shapes to go with it….

I Haven’t had a chance to try beech yet….but will definitely add it to my list…

hi beech is not a easy to work with it has too different density off timber one hard one soft the hard side heavier makes the chisel jump a lot makes it very hard to get a nice smooth finish
