Project Information
After finishing the spindle for my grandmother's chair, I tried my hand at making a bowl. It's my first one, and it turned out alright, I guess. I found out why you need to finish the bowl in one sitting. It warped a little overnight, and it wasn't totally circular the next day. This caused my sanding to not hit a couple spots. Lesson learned. Go back and rough it out if you let it sit for any amount of time.
The wood was a hormigo ************************* blank I bought from Woodcraft and it has a beeswax finish. I finally have a use (besides candles) for the beeswax from my bee colonies. My parents had their land logged last spring and they left the tops of the trees. They took down a bunch of oaks and maples, but I'm really interested in the top of the 3' diameter walnut. I should have plenty of wood to practice with.
