THE BOWL THAT WAS FLAT BLANK

the link to your blog does not work.. I got to your blog by using the search feature..

That bowl turned out great Sam, I couldn’t get onto your blog above either but do remember you posting it and was interested in how it would turn out. Can see more of these being posted. Well done.

I didn’t have any problem with the link to the blog! Sam the bowl is beautiful! I don’t have any idea how to solve the problem you had!

Sorry Mic and Bob, it was my mistake. I did not leave space between the link and the brackets. Now it is OK. Thank you for that.

Very nice. Thanks for posting the “how to” photos.

Great looking bowl and great idea on how to make it. I know I have seen an article or tip on keeping dark sanding dust out of the light wood next to it, I checked a few places but could not find it. I think I most likely read it in either Wood Magazine or Woodcraft magazine. If I come across it I will let you know.

Great work. The end result is beautiful! Loved all the photos too!

How about a tack cloth? I use one after turning cork grips for fishing rods. Grips are mixed light and dark cork rings.

Great Bowl! My first thought in keeping sanding dust out would be to somewhat fill the grain after your final cut on the lathe before you start to sand. You could try using a hard finish like a urethane or CA or something like that basically to act as a sanding sealer. I havent tried it myself in your exact situation but I think the concept could be applied with some success. This would also be dependent on what kind of finish you would be going for on the finished product. I dont think it would work if you wanted a straight oil finish.

Beautiful bowl Sam

Hi Sam. A great looking bowl and an original design. I especially liked the angle jig you used to get an accurate cut. I have done a lot of cutting like this on the lathe myself but I just used tape to mark the angles. Your jig looks like a much better way to do this! Thanks for posting this along with your bowl.
