Cedar Bowl II

This is a cedar hollow form/bowl. It is finished with amber shellac. I turned it using a set of carbide hollowing tools. These tools produced a smooth surface that required less sanding than usual. The hollow interior follows the contour, with a wall thickness of about 1/4". All in all I am pleased with the turning, but not so sure about the shellac. Maybe I just need more practice.

I also wrote an article about this blog that was published in the ETWA Newsletter this month. A link to the ETWA website is posted under the links section to the right. You can navigate to this months newsletter to view the article.

Now for the pictures.
