Maple bowl #46

Jim, that is very nice work. It has a certain elegence to it.

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

Jim, that is super awesome. Some good Charlie Chips would look yum yum good in there. This bowl would probably hold the whole can. Super nice. Your turnings are incredible!

Nice bowl Jim! It looks bigger than 10” in diameter. Of course there isn’t anything to reference it to in the pics. Either way, very nice.

That sure is one very nice looking bowl Jim. I wonder if non turners looking at it realise just how big a pile of turnings were produced!

Very nice! Looks like the 6 month drying kept it from checking or warping. Gonna have to increase my patience…

Thank you all for the nice comments. bowls are fun.

G’day, Harry!. I scooped up a lot of shavings from that one. Luckily it was spread out over two set ups!
I burned 110 gal of chips last week after we got our first rain in a couple months. I waited until the yard was really wet and then dumped them in the burn ring and they burned down to nothing.

That bowl will hold a lot of popcorn!!!!!..............Jim

Nice job Jim, I like the concave work around the neck & the complimentary treatment to the inner rim, great looking piece of timber.
Well done Mate

G’day, Pete. I’m glad you like it. I wanted to make it a bit different than just a straight sided bowl so I added the concave outside and just followed the thickness around it on the inside. I’m always “outside the box” so that is why I did it!! Cheers, jim
