Been asked by my ex-wife if I can make a few small bowls for her pubs Christmas raffle (yes,I get paid for them as well..) so started this afternoon :-

Beech,120mm diameter,50mm high,finished in foodsafe oil (so it can actually be used as a rice bowl,if the winner sees fit.)

OK Andrew, lets see a matching set of six :twisted:


We regularly use Beech bowls for both serving and eating salads and the like, a quick swill in clean water or wipe with a moist cloth is all they need.
Just have to warn recipients of any that have left the scene to avoid using detergent on them which removes the oil.

Nice form Andrew, and as Chas. said let's see the other matching 5. :twisted:

You have given me an idea for the Beech I was cutting up the other day. I may have to make a set of salad bowls for 'er indoors. Get 'er off my back for a bit. :wink:

 

[Bodrighy]

I was also thinking along these lines. Way to use up all the beech I have now. Be a new experience doing a load of things all the same.

Andrew , have you blacked the groove ? or is it my imagination ?

Nice bowl like the style a lot :lol: :wink:

Blackened? well..burnt,actually.. :lol:

Made a groove,then burnt it with a piece of wire (held safely between two wooden handles) held in the groove,and firm pressure applied briefly.

Made a couple more this afternoon,while I've still got the small jaws on the chuck:-

Olive ash,115mm diameter,60mm high,friction polish.

Sycamore,130mm diameter,45mm high,friction polish.

Took some of my turnings over to my ex-wifes pub this morning,to go as raffle prizes;she thought they were too good for prizes and that I should sell them instead.So now have a display in the corner of the pub,and sold three already
