Three sided bowl

Looks nice! How big is it? Did it come from a pallet corner block? Turn it round and then cut the triangle?

Stephen you really must hone your photographic skills to match those of your turnings, and when you do, PLEASE take a few shots during the making so that the likes of me, and I’m sure that there are many, can learn from you. I can’t tell you what the wood is, only that the unusual bowl is a gem.

Wdwerker: the bowl was turned from a cube of wood 6×6 x 6 inches. The success of this bowl is dependant on getting all the sides square and the same size. The 3 sides are from the original cube and are not cut at any time.

See the link below to the project sheet.

Great little bowl. I have also turned one of these but found getting the corners lined up in the lathe a bit fiddly I made a jig and cut off the 2 opposite corner. The Project sheet certainly makes a easier job of it. will have to try that method

Neat bowl ! Thanks for the link. It’s nice to share all these clever ways to make something unusual.

Both of your bowls look great. I like this one the fact that it came from crate wood is amazing. Well done.

Sugi Pine tends to crush rather than cut so you need sharp tools. I am reluctant to put on a finish because of the great aroma.
