Christmas Gift for my Sister and her Husband
I know they are not online on steem, so the surprise will not be spoiled.
His and hers walnut cereal bowls.
Start with a bit of 12/4 walnut.
Mark the center.
Drill a shallow anchor hole. This will be the hollow side.
Mount it on the screw chuck.
Form the base.
Shape the exterior. This is how you know your tools are sharp, long fine shavings and a glossy surface.
Hollow out the bowl. I am using a forstner bit to drill out the center, just to speed things up.
Rinse and repeat.
Then oil and polish.
Your work here is beautiful @skycranehandwork. You've made 2 lovely bowls that I'm sure your sister and brother-in-law will love.
I love how you've documented your process with such high quality, detailed photos. You make it look easy! However, I'm pretty sure that if I followed each of these steps, my bowls would look nothing like these. 😁
Thank you:) I only started bowl turning a few weeks ago, so you could learn quickly too. That, and lots of sand paper.
Nice post, beautifully presented and explained. Detail oriented with nice pics. Thank you for sharing this with us, Upvoted
Nice, it is thought behind the giving that matters most.
Lovely job! Keep up the good work.
