Join my Sharing Session with Tod Raines, Friday, December 20th, 2:00 pm Eastern (19:00 UTC) https://www.cindydrozda.com/html/Signup.html For The Newbies- Bowls come in all sizes and shapes. Kent Weakley shares one of his favorites Expand Your Horizons- My favorite projects are ones that are utilitarian. A bowl for rice is rather specific but I found the shape/technique to be intriguing. These are some chop sticks I made a while ago- New Turning Items- These are not new, but, Carl Jacobson demonstrates how to properly install both the stainless and brass Niles inserts. Everything Else- Got the bottom of the bowl I was working on finished off. My plan was to make a Calabash bowl. Well, I succeeded in creating a round bottom but the other proportions are off. Just about every bowl I turn is done with a mortice. The mortice is fashioned into a foot. Using a tenon would definitely aid in creating a round bottom for this type of bowl. I messed up the finish at the painter's tape. Maybe I can salvage it. I want to than @RustyFN for the post he made on the AAW forum. His questions and the responses are great resources for anyone wishing to delve into the Calabash bowl and it's history- https://www.aawforum.org/community/threads/calabash-bowl.19748/
