Beech Bowl

Postby Dalboy » 14 Jan 2015, 20:14

Just finished this Beech bowl. It is 9" dia and 3 1/2" tall as the wood is a bit plain I thought I would add some texturing to the outside

C & C welcome

That patterning is very striking! Very even - is it all hand done?

Yep, I like that texturing. Adds something a little Medieval (in my mind) to it. Nice. :eusa-clap:

I would think a texturing tool ( a small rotating profiled wheel with sharp bits) was used for the pattern but I am sure Dalboy will be along to explain more.

Have to agree though the effect is striking.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Thank you all for the comments. I did think about colouring the band of the texture but when I saw how it looked went for leaving it plain.

Yes it was the Robert Sorby spiralling and texturing tool that I used

I've just been looking at videos of those tools in action. As a non woodturner, I find it fascinating.

It rather looks like the resulting pattern might be different each time so maybe a little difficult to make match pieces? or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

You can get very much close to a matching pair, it is a case of the two bowls being turned as a matching pair in size and adding the texture with the tool held at the same angle by setting the rest on the tool.
In the Robert Sorby video he removes the rest from the tool as he is using the tool at different angles.

With the same tool you can produce a spiral like this one below

Fancy indeed! If I were poisson and destined for a clubbing then I should like it to be at the hands of something so carefully prepared!

Take a little practice to use. But worth it in the end. You can also get a micro one for smaller work.
