Project Information

This has turned out better than my first attempt at doing this procedure. People who purchased the first one has always wanted me to do a replica but I have had difficulty getting the glues to hold during the winter months
but finally with the warmer weather and a new brand of CA glue I have had success with this half. The second bowl is still in pieces after coming apart while on the lathe and might stay that way for some time. Anyone
interested in trying these can find instructions on Dennis Keelings site, he does his with Corian.

Have to say this is an attention getter. As for me trying this, I don't think I would ever try it. You did a great job and appreciate you sharing with us.
Going to look and see what it takes to make it.

Great looking bowl, somehow reminds me of our old fashioned barbershop poles. All you have to do is put it
on a powered turntable to see if will hypnotize you. The only corian I have is a big sheet of ash rose, so I am
going to look for some colored plexiglas. Thank you for sharing.

That's a real stunner Bob, congratulations. I made a similar style from coloured ply and I found the colour patterns almost did my head in while it was spinning.

That is a wonderment! It's so original with a psychadelic flare from the 70's. What a great marriage of wood and plastic. That is the coolest bowl I've seen.

That is awesome. Reminds me of all of the swirls that were in the super balls in the gum machines when I was a kid. Those always caught my eye as this bowl does too. Very nice.

More Great work Bob. Amazing attention to detail. I love the swirling effect of colour. Reminds me a bit of shellfish we used to collect from rocks…..they were only Black and White but had similar swirls….Do you look at nature and get Ideas from living things?

Regards,

Cliff.
