Popular Post Steve Krumanaker Posted February 5, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I'm going to say this about three times but this bowl is NOT MY WORK!! Often when a new wood turner is asking for advice someone will recommend joining a club. I've said myself there is nothing better a new turner can do to learn than join a wood turning club. After our meeting today I have to amend that and say there is nothing better any turner can do to learn than join a wood turning club. Today I saw one of the most creative pieces of work I've ever seen, from a guy that's only been turning about two years I think. Once again, this is not my work but one of our club members. He rough turned a walnut bowl that had a big knot in the side. When he finished turned the bowl, the knot deteriorated and left a big hole. His fix was inspirational I think. He said he got the idea from fixing a boat hole with a bolt. I'll say it again, this bowl is not my work but I wish it were.

Gerald Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I have used some unique patches , but nothing like this. And as you said for a new turner a large bowl which we all thought we had to do when we started, and a unique and inventive solution is impressive. The question is where does he go from here?
