DOUBLE LAYERED BOWL

You’ve stepped it up here Sam. I have NEVER seen one of these before. This is fantastic. Have you considered a blog showing more of the process?

-- Backer boards, stop blocks, build oversized, and never buy a hand plane--

Another new creation Sam, you have got a great loking bowl with the contrasting woods. Hiw about red gum and osage orange for the next one. Nice work Sam.

-- Bob C, Australia. I love sharing as long as it is not my tools

Very pretty bowl Sam. I love the contrasting colors. Just curious, how did you put the two pieces together?.... Where they turned first then inserted inside one another? Im with rance on this one, give us a short blog, I’d like to try one myself

Very ingenious! I like it!! Thanks for sharing….............Jim

Great bowl, Sam. Innovative and intriguing.

I’ve had an idea in my mind for some time of a box of this nature and , encouraged by this project, I feel more inclined to follow it up. If it looks half as good as this I’ll be well pleased.

Sam …you’ve left me scratching my head again what a great idea! hope to see it at the next meeting.

I have to agree with Bob Collins, Red gum and Osage orange would look fantastic!

A new giant step in bowl-turning. The idea is absolutely genius.

-- Thomas - There is no such thing as a problem, there only are solutions.

I’ve made turned boxes like this, but never had the nerve to try a bowl..my hat is off to you!

Ok now that taking it to the next level Sam. Amazing work and cool idea. Love it.

On another not thanks for your post a while back on making the perfect oval, It helped me termendously in making the top for my entertainment Center. Here the link giving you a big thx a while ago.

Thx again.

That is impressive! An excellent display of your creativity and talent. Thanks for sharing!

-- Steve - Impatience is Expensive

Turn two bowls that nest inside each other so closely that they can be glued together to make one bowl,
no problem if you are Sam Shakouri or own a expensive CNC lathe. Sam, you really are creating wonders
with wood. Thank you for sharing this bowl with us, and now I will quietly go practice on my lathe and
hum my mantra “maybe some day”.

Amazing Sam, leave it to you to come up with another great project….. You Da Man Sam!!

Thanks for sharing….

-- Chuck Emery, Michigan,

Fabulous job Sam, you had to get your maths right with this one to make it work :))

-- Pete G: If you always do what you always did you'll always get what you always got

That is some nice work. I can say I would have never come up with something like this. Very impressive indeed.

-- Nick, AZ. Wood is a canvas for God's art work, it is our job as woodworkers to figur out the best way to display it.

Well done Sam.
