Grabbed a bit of shed time today, which seems to be a rare occurence lately
I made this small bowl from an off cut of what I think is Sepele,from a bag of hardwood bits and bobs my uncle brought me(he has a guy that makes doors etc just up the road from him and leaves his offcuts outside labelled free!)
I wanted to make something a bit different and went for this flying saucer shape. Its 5" wide,sanded down to 6oo grit, with a coat of cellulose sanding sealer and finally polished by hand with woodwax22.



Your Critique good or bad much appreciated.

Cheers JT

I like how well finished it is and the black lines around the outside really set it off well. Well done!

Hi Johnny
I really like the shape and something different from the norm, and a lovely piece of wood and finnish, I think the black lines enhance the unusual shape.
What are the rough dimensions please as I would like to have a go my self if you don't mind.
Thanks Dave

like your last shape, i really love this too. Like the other post before i like the colour and the black lines really show it off a treat, can you put something in the shot for size comparison, i like to know how big these offcuts are.. :lol:

Yep, mark me up as a fan of this, i do like the dark lines against the reddy-brown.

Hi Johnny,
You cant beat useful sized off-cuts that!!
Nice shape for a change and a really good finish, certainly a good session in the work shop.
Regards,
Ian

Thanks for the comments

Its not all that big its only about 5" wide and an 1 1/2" tall. I like the shape and may well do a bigger one...
