Bowl from a board

Those are sweet Scott.
I like the oval and the dots. Quite unique.

You put out some neat stuff.

They are very beautiful bowls, Scott. I hope to be that good on my lathe one day! First I have to start using it! LOL

Nice looking bowls Scott! You have much more patience than I do, the bowl from a board method was way too much for me. I started turning on a Shopsmith Mark V & put together a Ring Master for it. Wasn’t my cup of tea, but I can see how nice they come out. I bought some walnut from a guy that made baskets in kind of the same way. He used a spiral cut and the basket would pop open and closed with the handle.

I use the same general finishes Salad Bowl Finish. If you rub on some bees wax it will dull it a bit. Walnut Oil or Pure Tung Oil will also come out much more matte. Tung oil needs to be thinned or it will take a couple weeks to dry, but it dries harder than any other oil. Personally I would use BLO or Danish oil, but I am fine with it touching food once it is fully cured.

Thanks for all the comments.

Chris, thanks for your suggestions.
I am still using my old ShopSmith 10ER to turn all my bowls.
I don’t have a ringmaster so I just cut them out on a scroll saw.

Beautiful bowls Scott. I will have to make one of those jigs.

Those are beautiful bowls. Could you give us more information on how you built your jig.
