I did manage to complete the boy quilt, cut the binding strips and then went out to play with the lathe! Lena enjoyed a good stretch when I took the photo--she was teasing for a good brushing so, of course, I obliged her!
The outside shape of the bowl was completed and I turned it around and began the hollowing out.
It went pretty smoothly-it is so enjoyable to watch the wood curls fall away as you remove the center mass!
The grain is so pretty in this piece because it has swirls where the branches were-very cool grains result. Now it is time to do a lot of sanding on the inside and apply the shellac for the finish. So today I will complete the little girl's quilt on the frame, the bowl and maybe bind both quilts! What about you?!
What a beauatiful bowl!
ReplyDeleteThat bowl is a real beauty!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping the weather is good enough today to get outside. It's been so miserable here with daily storms that I've pretty much been a couch potato all week. My mojo is seriously in decline.
It looks so different from when you started! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bowl!
