Natural edged bowl

Postby Dalboy » 15 Jul 2019, 15:08

Natural edged bowl made this a little chunky. Turned from Ash and while turning it found two nails in it which I managed to get out without wrecking my tools. Finished with acrylic sander sealer and satin lacquer. Measures 5 1/2" X 3".

The figure is very nice in that. I have not had much luck keeping the bark on when I have tried that sort of thing, well done.
Regards,

My tool kit is almost complete, only a few more to get.

Keeping the bark on depends on the wood being turned quite a bit of the time. The trick for those a little more difficult need some care and occasionally the use of CA glue. With this one I cut the bark from the thin air side of the bowl and not in from the bowl side.
You need to rub the bevel on the bowl and move the gauge backwards until it passes the bark into thin air move it in very slightly then move back into the piece. Make sure you only take the lightest of cuts.
This is easier to do than explain

Natural edge is easy to do the main thing is to keep all body parts behind the tool rest. And use a jam chuck to remove the foot.
