Large Wild Cherry Gall Bowl

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Large Wild Cherry Gall BowlWell, the old personal life has been throwing some wild curve balls as of late and, in my case, that kinda saps the desire to create much of anything.But, we must persist…Back in May I harvested a wild cherry gall just shy of being the size of a basketball. My intention all along had been to turn it into a large bowl, which is what you see in the pics.Went my normal route… roughed out the bowl with paddle bits on the drill and then ground it out with my grinder. I didn't go super deep because as one gets closer to the pith, you start to lose the interesting grain.I stopped grinding right about when I saw that this bowl would have a unique interior.I ground the outside until interesting grain started to emerge. I worked the outside with my palm sander with three pieces of 40 grit sand paper. Then I continued, using 80, 120, 180, and finally 240.It's finished with five coats of wipe-on poly (I may add a coat or two more tomorrow).Sorry for the necessary hiatus. I'm sure I missed some spectacular pieces from you all.
