It would be better to start a new thread with a relevant title rather than clog up this one which has a wholly different purpose. You will get better and more specific answers.

Oak Burl Bowl

I'm rather pleased with this one.

Got some time in the makerspace today so made some tealights as requested by a friend and then to fill some time before heading back to work in picked up on a project I started last year, I had turned some bases that I wanted to add lighting to but couldn't figure out how until I was given a box of solar garden lights recently and I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

That was the initial inspiration

This is a bowl for my next door neighbour's birthday. Turned from a sycamore log from a tree I felled about a year ago. Burned natural edge (couldn't keep the bark on, too friable) and finished with citrus burnishing oil. It's about 22" tall and 11" diameter at the rim

Had a quick tidy up in the makerspace today then grabbed a bit of Spalted Birch to see what one of the lamp-posts I made ueaterday would look like with it and I really like it. Also turned a couple of mushrooms.

Well I finally had it happen. I worked to thin and broke through
I used a swan neck hollowing tool for the first time. Eatery hole 35mm so I worked by feel… used fingers to see/feel how thick the wall was
Stopped when I thought I had 10 mm. Skimmed the outside and then broke through the wall…. That was only 1 mm thick… oh well

It's easily done, I've done it quite a few times.

From the piece that I turned the inside to thin. Decided to salvage the bottom half

See Buckthorn vases to commemorate my friends who planted the tree they are made of.

Made a walking stick for SWMBO to help her after she broke her ankle really badly. This is a blackthorn shaft, antler handle and the joining ferrule is cast in pewter and turned to shape. Laser engraved a silhouette of our dog's head on the top of the coronet.

Very skilled

Thanks, maybe a future project.

This bowl was requested for my wife's bread making, it's a no knead recipe that she'd found on Youtube. The bread takes a total of 3 hours from start to finish, with only 10 minutes of human effort. Here's the first loaf made using the bowl for the rising part.

The bowl was lovely, but can you ask your wife for the bread recipe/method

I killed the woodworm in this piece of Cherry about three years ago. my plan was to turn something interesting for my sister Cherry when it dried. Unfortunately, she passed away in December 2023 but I thought I'd still give it a turn. Because of a fault I uncovered while turning it I had to change the shape to a smaller bowl. Still interesting to me though. 120mm diameter by 100mm high.

Took a whirl around the Calais lace museum a while back and that lovely bowl of yours reminds me of their design cards they used when lace making went automative
