Title: SG bowl
Post by: Martin on December 21, 2013, 07:05:15 pm: Not done much on the scroll saw lately so I cut this earlier this week to keep my hand in. I think this is one of those that everyone cuts as it's easy to cut and looks good too, IMO. External ply with outer veneers that are that thin I daren't sand it! Blathered it with mahogany stain and it's had another coat since this photo as it was very spotty close up.

I keep looking through the local Freecycle emails for old furniture, but the only way to get it home is cut it up and the people giving the furniture away don't like that. Understandable of course.

Martin.
