Thread: Bubinga bowl

  1. #1

    Bubinga bowl

    This vase is the end-of-week project of a beginner after a 4 days training program. Passionate, he came with his own wood asking if it was good to be turned. I told him to keep it until the en of the week, and he turned it Friday.
    It is Bubinga.
    As you can see he really grasped all the basics of wood turning.
    I wanted to share it with you.

    Claude, he did a wonderful job. The form reminds me of one of my first bowls in Sweetgum. Please pass on my compliments to him.

    Would Bubinga be considered an "exotic"?

    That bowl is a beauty. Claude tell him I wish my first bowl looked that good. I like the bead around the rim and finish. He did a nice job.

    Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

    I hope I find an instructor that will have me turning out something that nice after 4 days. Good job.

    That's a very nice piece, and I particularly like the form.
