Thread: A couple of projects for today;

    A couple of projects for today;

    I had a piece of wood that I picked up that looked like it had potential so I thought I would tackle it this morning. It was labeled Chicarella when I bought it. I was sitting there look at this piece and it was just crying to become a bowl! I know I don’t do very many bowls but sometimes the wood just knows what it wants to be. Here is a small bowl with foot. I chickened out while thining the bowl as the crack you see goes all the way through. I used CA on it but still was worried. I stopped and a bit under 1/8” thick.

    Inside View;



    Now the main event for the day. I spent a total of 6 hours on this one box which is why I will never make a living doing this stuff! It is made from Macassar Ebony with a very small Pink Ivory finial. This wood is very pretty but extremely irritating to breath. I had to wear a respirator the entire time I was working it. It cuts and turns well.

    The box is 5-1/2” tall with the finial. The finial itself is 1-3/16” and is less than 1/16” at its thinnest point. The box is 2” at its widest point.



    This is an inside view that shows the lid hollowed to its form. (Sorry about the flash ring I am working on that with different lights coming)



    Anyhow thanks for having a look and comments are always welcome.

    Kenneth -

    Looks like you had another productive day. Very nice work (as usual). I really like the bowl's simple lines and good flow.

    Regards,
    Ted
