It's funny how something can go bad when you are so close to being finished....
My little cherry bowl was done except for cleaning up the foot.
Cut it down to the size I wanted and decided to do a little detailing on it.
I knew I didn't have a lot to play with on the bottom but....
Ended up with a cherry funnel instead of a cherry bowl.

At least I got some shop time today.
Hope everyone is having a good Easter!

Nice looking Cherry bowl! Now just turn a matching pedestal and you are all set!

You are correct, Gary. That is a very nice funnel!
Member
Much prettier than the funnels I've made.
Member
Gary,
I've made a funnel or two myself. Just get a sink stopper and call it art.
Never go to bed angry, stay up and fight. Its much more fun.

Just taper the hole inward a little and turn a matching or contrasting patch that is also tapered to match and glue it in. Use a round nose scraper to level the patch and you're in business. I have done that too many times! But I saved every one of them. ......Ron
A turning a day keeps the doctor away.

I have a friend who works as a shrink. She told me one day that when she said to a patient that he should look at what he was going through as an "opportunity", he said "Oh great. Just what I need. Another #$%&! opportunity!"

Don't ya just hate it when you have to take that one final cut and usually bad words follow. Of course I have never did that.

Got a lot of feasable suggestions to go with. Extremely nice funnel, it absolutely needs to be saved. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

I always get a little tense when nearing the final touches on a turning as that is when things go wrong.
Looked good up to that point.
