Cootamundra Wattle and Resin Bowl

Bob 2 years, it was worth it. The resin color is great. I don’t think I could stay with a project that long. When I loose interest they are gone. Move on to the next. Maybe I need to rethink this Very nice bowl

WOW. That is a great job you did on it Bob. I would agree with Ron on the two years in the making but it was well worth it. Well done.

Really pretty. Reminds me of a Van Gogh painting or the storms on Jupiter. Worth the work you put into it.

A great result Bob, your perseverance has paid off beautifully. Like the finish you have achieved with the grain.
Well done.

Ow that is a nice bowl. I would say that the two years was worth it.

-- Nick, AZ. Wood is a canvas for God's art work, it is our job as woodworkers to figur out the best way to display it.

What a beautiful bowl! Great job!

Cootamundra Wattle you say, so how big was the tree?

I would not even think of using it as a project timber, it certainly looks good, just goes to show what can be achieved.

A excellent result achieved with skills perseverance and “thinking outside the bowl”

-- Regards Rob

Stunning piece! Excellent Work Bob! I would say it was worth the wait! It’s beautiful, love the grain! The picture’s you posted gives it a 3-D look. I just pops right out at you! All your hard work and smart thinking paid off!

-- St Augustine FL, Experience is the sum of our mistakes!

Wow, the reward for your effort over two years, is absolutely amazing. With this work you have paid tribute to this amazing piece of timber, well done!

Will have to look for Cootamundra Wattle for a bandsawn box or two

Best wishes for Christmas 2013,

Thanks for the nice comments Guys, that bowl did a lot of sitting around.

Robert, I don’t know how big the tree was, the blank came from South Aust. and was the biggest one available.

Merry Christmas to you all.

-- Bob, Western Australia, The Sun came up this morning, what a great start to the day. Now it's up to me to make it even better. I've cut this piece of wood 4 times and it's still too damn short.

Wow that is an amazing bowl,great job
Perseverance pays off !!

Wow, really nice bowl. You have a lot more patience than most people!

A wonderful piece of wood and a nice turning. It’s good that you took your time to repair as you went. It is spectacular with both color and grain.
