5 Scallop Cedar Bowl
« on: May 10, 2013, 05:36:02 am »
Cut from a rescued cedar plank that had been outside for a number of years in a dilapidated barn it originally was 10 feet long and 14 inches across and 1 inch in thickness.  It was badly warped and after planing it down it became just 5/8 of an inch thick but the grain was spectacular. This bow is about 7 1/2 inches in diameter and about 3 1/8 inches tall.  Sealed with tung oil and then top coated with satin lacquer.

That's a beauty. I have not tried cedar for bowl making but I have some old gray cedar from a swimming pool deck that I may try now.

With the ring thickness of 3/8 = .375
With the wood thickness of 5/8 = .625
The angle worked out to 30.96 degrees so I used 31 degrees.
