Hey fellow bowl-turners

I had had an interesting request from a mate who makes audiophile equipment. He is looking at building something that involves wooden hemispheres (no idea how) and thought i might be able to turn him some bowls. Unfortunately I am going in for a hand operation in 2 days and so i wil be out of action for a couple of months so i cant help. I thought i would put it here and see what people think.

He is looking for some hardwood bowls, maybe maple? fruitwood? Yew? something hard that would have a decent resonance i assume. Something in teh range of 40-50cm with a wall thickness of say 15-25cm.

I dont have any further details but i can pass on any questions.

anyone think they could have a go? and if so, what price?

at the moment its in the 'design phase' and might not come to anything but i know there are people here with better bowl turning skills than me

well, i've finally finished turning all the walnut i got from clive and in the end i got a whopping 73 bowls from it.

 

here are some pics of just the biggest ones and the large nests i got from the thick bits.

 

one of these is only 12" but the rest are 18" up to 26". it made alot of shavings!!!

 

 

there should be a 5th platter but it seems i didn't take a picture of it...
