Walnut Bowl #1

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


7 1/2” x 2 1/2”
Friction PolishThis is from the 50+ year-old walnut tree my wife and I cut up three months ago. The tree had been lying there for 3 years after being blown over in a storm. The interesting thing about that tree was we kept coming across nails deep inside the tree. I tried to cut the blanks around those nails. But this little guy decided to hide two nails. Didn't even know they were there until twice turned the inside. They are not on the outside of the bowl. I'm figuring someone put those nails in that tree probably 30 years ago. The picture of me ripping the log is where this bowl came from.

These are some drums I've made over the years while moving from house to house across many states. I finally finished building my new house with large workshop and I'm so excited to get back to building drums! Unfortunately, all of my custom MDF jigs absorbed all the moisture from various storage locations, so rebuilding those will be the first order of business.Shown here:1. 7×14” Mahogany stave snare, brass trim, grain oriented in chevron pattern, basswood inlay, 30 coats hand-rubbed Waterlox finish, buffed and polished.2. 5×14” Hickory snare with sapwood accent. 5 coats Behlen instrument lacquer. My “daily driver”.3. 4.5×14” Cherry stave snare, 30 coats hand-rubbed Waterlox finish, buffed and polished.4. Bare Mahogany shell, sanded.
