Spalted Maple Oval Bowl

[DWSudekum]

I had a small piece of spalted maple ( 4 x 7 x 3/4 ) left over from another project.  I decided to make a bowl from it.  The bowl is 3 3/4 inches wide x 6 1/2 long and 3 inches tall.  The wall thickness started off at 1/4 inch and is more like 3/16 inch thick now.  I sealed the bowl with tung oil and then top coated it with shellac.

Correction, the camera angle and my poor eyes, changed the shape of the bowl enough that I thought there were two different bowls being shown.  Still a great bowl even after a second look!

Wish I could do that!

You can do this.  It is not real hard to do at all.  Just takes a little practice is all.  There is a book that has been put out by Carole Rothman called Wooden Bowls from the Scroll Saw here is a link to it on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Wooden-Bowls-Scroll-Easy---Make/dp/1565234332/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1419113820&sr=1-1&keywords=wooden+bowls+from+the+scroll+saw.  The book gives you good instruction on making bowls from the very simple to the more complex.  It is a good book for your scrolling library.
