  • Well is you like walnut I have some poor man's walnut Sweet Gum finished. It does not show in the pictures but tow of these cracked like the spokes of a wheel on the bottom. I filled with epoxy colore

  • After a bit over two weeks it is done. Doing patches and sanding was the worst part of it all. Finish is semi gloss lacquer. Bowl is magnolia. Collar may be a rosewood. Finial may be zircote . Pa

Lew ...simply beautiful. The joinery close up is AMAZING. looks like you mention using your chop saw to create the pattern cuts? You may be aware of the John Beaver method of cutting wave bowls ( if you have a band saw) might be of interest to you also. Some presenters of the John Beaver method are here .

None the less doesn't matter how you make it as long as it good when you are done.... YOU RUNG THE BELL ON THESE

A while back I said I would sho my hallowing setup so 20260517_121639.jpgTop to bottom there is the restraint, bar holder, big boring bar, small bar, and two hand held scrapers and my swan neck tools. All but the last one were made by me. I almost enjoyed making them as much as turning wood, got to get some use out of old MOS training once in a while. Thanks for looking. Forgot little aluminum bar in first row is my cutter holder for sharpening cutters.

When i went to work in the sand business back in 74 as a maint. man /equipment operator/ whatever else came up. the saying was if you can't make it you don't need it, and that boss lived by that saying. So i got rather good at getting by or to borrow from our marines, We have done so much for so long with so little that we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.☹️😀🤣

Not without a few hiccups but it turned out better than I expected for an experiment. I saw a similar design in the AAW magazine that was included in the article from Alan Finn. My first thought was to make a shallow platter but was changed to a pedestal dish.

The dish part is a little over 7" in diameter and the whole thing stands about 4.75" tall. Turned completely with EWT products and finished with Yorkshire Grit.
