Oriental bowl

[Cruncher]

Another first attempt at a new shape and I didn't lose any fingers!!

Wow :shock:

Thats very nice

cant wait to see it for real

Looks like other forum members are keeping quiet about this one

well done Cruncher

:lol:

I do like the shape and the finish. These bowls are very popular in the states, they call them 'angel wings'. I haven't had the nerve to have a go yet myself. Does seem quiet on your two postings cruncher....don't know why :?:

What's the wood, Cruncher? I've seen Jimmy Clews do something similar in sycamore, but the "other way up" with the wings lifting the bowl off the surface. I must give that a try one day. Must try to get hold of some chain-mail gloves first!

Ray.

cruncher, i thought it was an old propeller. joking aside i think it looks great well done mate

I personally am not into artistic forms, just boring containers of varying sizes, however I appreciate the effort/nerve that went into the making of it Cruncher, a little more info on wood type and finishing method would not go amiss and if possible a sharper picture would do the piece more justice.

I have had limited results trying to sharpen the existing picture.

I call them propeller bowls just finishing one in holly I will post a pic when its done.

It is impressive while turning, it sounds like an elicopter is landing in your workshop.
Very nice Job.

Hi , cruncher is away for 5 days on holls

think he is back Thursday

Hi.

Like the shape, and the wood. Like the others I'm waiting to find out what type of timber it is.

 

[Bodrighy]

It's tempting to post a site for instructions but I'll resist and let cruncher do it when he gets back. Suffice to say I have tried it a couple of times and have yet to succeed. Simple in theory, hard (painful if not careful) in practice.
