Several months ago, I was given a rather large maple tree with a request of a large (14" ish) salad bowl for the Church the tree came from .... since my Rikon Mini simply can't squeeze that out .. my neighbor Tom Hamilton offered his shop, time, and Powermatic to work me thru this. We roughed out the blank, and its been drying for a few months ... yesterday we (I) finish turned it, now I need to sand it out, then we'll clean the foot up a bit in a week or so.... The bowl ended up about 13" diameter x 5+" deep ...
I do have to say, Tom is a gracious host and has helped me with learning the art of turning, it helps to have someone there with you, talking thru the 'how-tos' ... I do appreciate the opportunities!
Here is my progress photo (just the bowl, not the workers .... :p ) I will work on better photos once its finished.
well, comments/critiques, as always, are welcome!
