Project Information

Love the shape and looks of Triferns Hollow forms, So thought I would give it a try, only smaller. haha

4 3/4 tall X 4 diam. 1 1/4 opening. 3/16 wall thickness. A little wide at the base, but I like the shape.

Turned from a piece of Claro Walnut from Rustfever First of several pieces I will be turning from the box of wood he sent me. (Thank You again Ira)

First time I have turned a piece of Claro Walnut. The colors and grain of this wood is just outstanding. Turned completely green/wet.

3 coats of tung/oil varnish, followed by 3 coats of wax and buffing.

Please leave all comments and suggestions. Thank You for looking.

Looks like the new Jet lathe is getting a work out? A very nice bowl. What did you use to hollow out the inside?

Thanks for all the great comments every one. I really enjoyed turning this piece. What a fantastic wood!

Lisa: NO you can't eat it. All though…...Turn a ball of this and put it on top of a segmented piece shaped like an Ice Cream Cone???? I have another idea! Thank You!

Hacksaw, The Jet is fantastic. This started off a little out of balance. No vibration at all. Nice solid lathe. Used a home made hollowing tool. Used an old Allen Wrnch for the cutter. A little bend and mounted in a handle. Works great.

DeputyDawg: Give me a call when you are in town. Would love to get together. Thanks for the compliment.

Charlie: I am no where near Joe's league…...yet. haha Got a lot of learning and prctice to go. Thank You.

Karson: I have allways been a fan of Walnut, But this Claro Walnut is a LOT nicer. Great color and grain.

Chris: This took a total of about 3 hours of turning time. Another hour of sanding. Not to count the finishing and waxing and pollishing, etc…

Seer: Yah, Claro is a LOT nicer then regular Walnut.

Thanks Again Every One!

That's wonderful. I think trifern's base would be skinnier but I see the inspiration.
