    Cherry Bowl

    Now that I'm going back to school part time along with working a full-time job, I don't exactly have a whole lot of time for woodworking anymore. However, this afternoon I was able to spend a couple of hours in the shop and was able to turn this cherry bowl. It measures approximately 7" in diameter and 3.5" deep.

    This was the first project I was able to use my Sorby Sandmaster with the sanding discs I ordered from Industrial Abrasives. I sanded it to 600 grit with the Sandmaster and then switched to the Micro Mesh and sanded to 12,000 grit. I finished it off with Shellawax Liquid Friction Polish and a coat of Renaissance Wax. The pictures really does not do the bowl justice (I really need to invest in a small photo booth.)

    If anyone is interested, here is the link to the 2" H&L pads that work with the Sandmaster - the pads are only $5 per pack of 25.

    It feels good to step away from the seriousness of school and work and do a little turning.

    Very nice work Tim! You can sure tell that the bowl was sanded to 12,000 - looks great! Glad you had the chance to take a break from school/work - looking forward to seeing some more of your turnings real soon!

    When you look at a bowl like this one, you can just tell when a man takes pains to get it right. Beautiful work. The break from school was worth the time, wasn't it...
    It looks a lot like our Ash, here in NW Texas, or some Honey Locust from Oklahoma...
    Well done, Tim! Exquisite finish!

    The bowl is a beauty Tim. Form and finish look good.

    It looks great Tim! It looks like the rim is really interesting. I know you don't have much time, but a straight on profile shot would be nice.

    That is a very nice bowl, but it looks like Ash, or maybe R/Oak, not Cherry. Cherry does not have open grain.
