Natural Edge Three Footed Buggy Bowl
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
This post has two different bowls.#1~ Natural Edge Three Footed Buggy Bowl.This bowl was turned from a piece of birch I found recently. It was very dry and hard. I could see the beetle tracks before I even started but I wanted to see what I could make with it. I decided before I even started that I would not patch holes with epoxy or crushed stone.As it developed I really liked the character of the piece. I felt that removing part of the mortise I used to turn as three feet would add another great visual element to this bowl.There is no knowing how the bug tracks lay beneath the bark but I really like this little bowl as they were revealed.I sanded it to 400 grit before applying a Maloof style wipe-on finish I've been using lately. That was followed with a couple of coats of Howard's Feed n Wax before buffing it out with a mop head bowl buff. I stayed away from the Beall Polishing process I've been using because of the potential to get lint/fuzzys in all the bug holes.This bowl is 3 at it's highest point and 6 at its widest.This was a test piece for me to decide if I wanted to collect more of the birch. I have a couple of pieces but I did not get a large cache of it.
