Leaving wood enough to keep this piece together somewhat led to this form. I spent a lot of time trying to get blanks out of a Horse Chestnut that had to be taken down before it fell on a house. Its frustrating when you loose a piece because of its size when a smaller vessel would have worked. This happened frequently on this tree but I did manage to get quite a few bowl blanks processed.
I don't turn many ogee bowls because its often difficult to get things right. I thought this one wasn't too bad and any C & C would be welcome.
Chestnut, approx. 10" diam., 1 coat(so far) tung oil, linseed oil, turpentine mix.
