First attempt at bowl making
« on: November 03, 2013, 07:09:52 pm »
This was my first attempt, and I made some errors mostly in the layout.  I glued 7 pieces of wood together and should have centered the pattern.  I was off by a bit but that's ok on this one,  its for myself.

 

Oak  Poplar, and Aromatic Cedar

 

Design is by Steve Good, and I enlarged it.

Looks good.  Be careful as bowl making is contagious and soon you will have many many more to show us:)  Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Nice job!
I'm glad to see someone else get bitten by the "Bowl Bug"  ;D
Don't worry too much about being a little off center with the pattern it just makes it look more interesting. I would have never noticed if you hadn't said something.
In fact, try another and move it a bit farther off center, it could be a very interesting look.  ;)

Turned out to be a nice bowl. Sometimes we need to make things for ourselves. I have seen this pattern but havent tried it yet. Thanks for showing me how it would look.
