bowl turning thread

just an update on that huge brown oak that i turned two months ago.

 

 

it's lost over 31% of it's weight and shrunk a bit...

just been rough turning some of the wood i've got from savill gardens and look what i found.

 

i'll be impressed if anyone can guess the species...

the first bowl on this thread was a lump of burr given to me by muttley9050.

 

well i finally got round to giving it a final sand and oiling it with a bit of danish.

 

 

here is the result.

that tree has a lot of history and only came from no further than three hundred yards from my yard, great its been given another life,will sort out the rest of it this week:thumbup:

since i became a turner it has been my aim to make use of trees beyond their living years so that they can be useful or just appreciated for the beautiful timber that they have locked away inside them.

 

glad to be of service.
