Title: Spalted Maple Oval Bowl
Post by: DWSudekum on December 18, 2014, 11:19:24 pm

I had a small piece of spalted maple ( 4 x 7 x 3/4 ) left over from another project.  I decided to make a bowl from it.  The bowl is 3 3/4 inches wide x 6 1/2 long and 3 inches tall.  The wall thickness started off at 1/4 inch and is more like 3/16 inch thick now.  I sealed the bowl with tung oil and then top coated it with shellac.

Very nice, both of them.  Love the wood and the bowls display it nicely.

Correction, the camera angle and my poor eyes, changed the shape of the bowl enough that I thought there were two different bowls being shown.  Still a great bowl even after a second look! ;)

You can do this.  It is not real hard to do at all.  Just takes a little practice is all.  There is a book that has been put out by Carole Rothman called Wooden Bowls from the Scroll Saw here is a link to it on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Wooden-Bowls-Scroll-Easy---Make/dp/1565234332/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1419113820&sr=1-1&keywords=wooden+bowls+from+the+scroll+saw (http://www.amazon.com/Wooden-Bowls-Scroll-Easy---Make/dp/1565234332/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1419113820&sr=1-1&keywords=wooden+bowls+from+the+scroll+saw).  The book gives you good instruction on making bowls from the very simple to the more complex.  It is a good book for your scrolling library.
