Title: Lids
Post by: jimbo on October 26, 2011, 08:59:04 pm

Here are a couple of  potpourri bowls I turned and scrolled the lids, I used to buy pewter lids but they are not selling now and they are getting to dear, the wood on the tall bowl is N.Z. rimu and the other is N.Z. matai

Great idea and work there Jimbo. That would also look nice to inlay contrasting wood and then do the scroll work.

Very nicely done Jimbo.  One of these days I will get some your y'alls Rimu and Matai to see how they handle.  Thanks for sharing them with us.

Excellent job, Jimbo!!!
I really like when people use more than one discipline to accomplish their work.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the compliments the patterns are from Steve's pattern library, I have just adjusted then to fit the lids, inlays don't fit this project as they are potpourri bowls and have to be open at the top to let the perfume out.
I am going to take art classes and hopefully I will be able to design my own lids with a NZ flavor

Great job Jimbo, someday I will have a lathe.  I love what a person can do with it, and Jimbo you have just proved it.

I really like them, good work.
If those colors with the grain are as viewed on the internet that is some really nice wood!

I saw some scrolled lids at a wood show that I went to at the weekend, then I came up with the idea that my husband could turn the bowls and I could scroll the lids.  You did an excellent job, they're great.
