    Continuing my journey

    Here are a few shots of my continued journey along the path or at least sort of in the same direction Mr. Harvey Fein.
    This is a maple bowl about 14" in dia. and 2" deep. Finished with Walnut oil.

    I think this equates nicely to wood turning as well . . . . .

    Very nice work. Is the "ring" on the back a bead or is it a separate piece of wood?

    Hey Greg. I am certainly not skilled enough to put a ring on the back, he .... he.
    Nope, this sort of piece is made from one chunk of wood. The theory is that the slots are cut first. THEN the back side is finished leaving whatever rings are required to support the sections. Sort of backwards to what we usually do for bowls etc.

    How do you make the cuts, if that is not giving away a trade secret?

    That's beautiful. In addition to the obvious, I really like the little bead on the inside where the bowl meets the rim. If you're feeling generous, I second Brian's question: how'd you make the cuts???

    Gorgeous. I also second Prashun on the bowl lip bead. That's an especially nice touch.
