Three turned bowls

Nice work Jeff. I like the way you did the lidded box. must try that one.

I really enjoy the segmented bowl. I assume that these were scraps that you combined. I can understand why you wife “appropriated” these bowls. They are all gorgeous.

I have said it before and I’ll probably say it again- after seeing posts like this I have got to put a lathe in my budget.

Thanks for the post.

Yep ! they all look good. Looking forward to seeing more of your work soon.

Very nice bowls. Having just turned my first one I appreciate the work and talent that went into these. Nice work!

I will attempt to get some individual close up pictures out. For finish I start with CA thin set glue and then sand up to 600 grit wet paper. After that I apply two coats of mylands high speed friction polish with the lather running at 3000 rpm. I sand between each coat up to 2000 grit wet paper. After all that I buff with wood shavings. On some pieces I will also apply a coat of beeswax. The segmented bowl is rings of wood cut at 22 1/2 degrees and then glued up. Once all the rings are cleaned up they are glued together and clamped into my homemade press. Thanks for all the comments.

Excellent turnings, thanks for sharing.
