    Desegmented Bowl?

    Instead of gluing segments together, why not remove some segments from a solid bowl? Granted some nice carved leaves would be better if one has the resources (tools and skills) for this.

    This 11-1/2" ash-juniper bowl had some major cracks and was destined for the burn pile, so was a good candidate for experimentation. Just something to post, as I haven't shown anything for a while. C & C welcome.

    Actually, Richard, that is pretty neat! Reminds me of some of those cigar ashtray turnings.

    Well now that sure is different! Pretty cool actually! Nice looking wood and a great way to save it from the burn pile!

    Richard,

    Did you cut out the segment before or after you turned the bowl ? In either case Ill bet it was more difficult than it appears. I like experiments like this since you never know where they may lead.

    Never go to bed angry, stay up and fight. Its much more fun.

    Thanks everyone for your comments (especially those who liked it). My wife immediately stuck a "Not 4 Sale" note on it, which could mean "Burn pile" or "I really like it". It actually meant the latter.

    Glenn it was a sorta finished bowl, but had major cracks so I didn't even properly sand and finish it. Been sitting at the back of a shelf for a year or more. "Adjusted" a table saw sled to nibble away the offending areas and hand sanded the edges.

    That is pretty good idea. I have some roughouts that will probably end up with some major cracks so why not accentuated them!

    I definitely like it. Imaginative and much too pretty to burn!
