Bowls, bowls, and more bowls

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


First, the juniper bowl in the middle of the first photo isn't going anywhere. That's the very first bowl I ever carved, and I gifted it to my lovely better half. The others I've put out on local arts and crafts sites on Facebook. The rest of the photos are individual shots of each of the bowls.The four bowls surrounding the juniper bowl in the center are beetle kill pine harvested locally and on our property. The more I work with this stull, the more unexpected colors pop. Most beetle kill pine has the blueish stain on parts of the piece, but, for some reason, the stuff I've been working with has a whole lot of other color, too. I'm liking it!I use an angle grinder with multiple different tools (not at the same time, of course) to carve out and then shape the bowls in kind of a freeform style. That's followed by sanding using both power tools and my arthritic hands (ouch).Thanks for looking.TZH

With the cedar boot being so porus, the mixture penetrates deeply and dries quickly. After a six-coat application the boot shines like a mirror. To top it off I put on a light coat of vegetable oil and polish it for a beautiful shine,
