Hi All;
I was asked by my Son if I could make a bowl from a half log. I tried and it turner out pretty nice. Flattened the bottom about 2 inch wide on the jointer and drilled a 1/2 inch deep hole for the #1 jaws on the Oneway Stronghold chuck. Flattened the front (very rough since the firewood had been split on a power splitter). Turner out the bowl and finished with Walnut oil, Beeswax and Carnuba wax mix.
Comments and critique welcome.
