3 Corner Bowls

Well they sure don’t look “blah” to me. Really interesting results. They look great.

Very interesting and beautiful shapes for such “blah” bowls!

If it’s not proprietary, it would be nice to see a video as to how you turned these.

How did the basswood turn? There was a guy on Ebay selling some and nobody bid on it. I had never heard of anybody ever using it before, so I had no idea what to expect.

Thanks for the info in advance!

I just started dying some pieces and really like the way it turns out. Your dyeing efforts look super!

Nothing proprietary … but I don’t do videos. Stephen Ogle did one using the same process I used, and he posted it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/TFQgC1_Tka4

How did the basswood turn?

It is pretty soft so you can get a lot of tear-out, but a good sharp gouge and light touch can produce a decent cut. It also soaks up dye and finish like a sponge.

Very nice job of turning a cube on a bias….. I have done a few of these over the years. But have never tried using bass wood. Like you say a mighty blah wood. You dressed this stuff up nice…... Nice job.

Here is one of my turned cube projects, there is also a link to a video on the process.

Very nice work on these Gerry, I really like them a lot, including the finish. I’m surprised how nice the dyed Basswood turned out.
