Paduak Bowl

Richard Allen

>This is a 7" lidded bowl out of Paduak. The lid fits loosly. The bowl has a slopeing out rim and the lid has a sloping in rim with a ridge to help position the lid. The knob is a 1/4 of a small bowl section with a thick base. The bowl is finished in a wipe on "tung" oil finish (a wipeing varnish).

I am trying a satin covered photo booth using a apir of work lights and seamless grey paper for the background.

I have been turning wood for about 12 years now. I consume about 20 hours a week in front of the lathe making primarly bowls and platters. I keep thinking about making other "stuff" on the lathe, and ocasionaly I even get beyond the thinking part. But I take the most pleasure in bowls and platters. I have most every tool availble for the lathe but I am always looking for a new tool. More than looking for a new tool I am looking for a new hunk of wood. While a corner woodworker (sometimes called flat woodworker) can never have enough clamps, I find most woodturners can never have enough turning stock. The woodturning club I belong to has a Christmas party each year and part of that party is a "grab bag". We bring in a turning, that is judged by the people who come to the party. The people who make the top three turnings get prizes (like sandpaper or a tool). The real prize though is the exchange of turnings that comes from this colection of turnings. Some of my most cherished turned objects are the ones I have recieved from these grab bags.

>Nice bowl. I like the winddinglidgrabber thing.

The photo is superb. I would get a better idea of how the bowl and lid meet if you included a shot of them put together, but I love the shot you took too. Well cropped full frame shot - too rare.
