Oak Bowl
Large
diameter 300 mm
Small diameter 250 mm
high 75 mm
11 3/4” or 9 3/4” x 2”
Finish: Wax
A good example of wood shrinking while drying. As the round cut
blank was totally wet when it was bought, it was protected with
wax and covered with wood chips and saw dust against fast drying.
After two years, the blank was dry but shrunk to an oval. When
turned , the shape of the bowl was kept as it was, and it was
just sanded clean.
Myrtle
Burl Bowl
410
mm diameter, 210 mm high
16” x 8 1/4”

Since this burl had a very interesting “mountainous” surface,
I kept the wall with about 70 mm (2 3/4”) very thick, to keep
as much of the burl as possible.

mm diameter, 45 mm high

turn to a wall thickness of about 4 mm (3/16“)
