Project Information

This is not the usual twice turned banana bowl like I've made before. This one started by loading the log in sideways and just cutting the banana shape into it but I thought why waste all the wood in the center….it will make another bowl. So that is what I did. It was a 5" x 10" mesquite log when I started

It is finished with Danish Oil and satin polyurethane..too hard to get in and buff this one.

Sorry, Ivan, I did not have the camera in the shop when I turned this one.

Cheers, Jim

Beautiful job Jim, can't imagine how difficult it is to turn with that interrupted cut and than how do you sand it? Do you sand after it comes off the lathe?

Really out of the box project Jim turned out great and like the idea of not wasting the center wood. Nice finish on the wood. Cheers.

I'm starting to believe there isn't anything you can't do with a lathe. If I was this good, you can bet I would be showing off. Excellent job !!! Mel
