Salvaged Walnut Burl Bowl, 1203-1 Front

Salvaged Walnut Burl Bowl-1203, 7-1/2 x 3, Sanded to 1200, Danish Oil, Beall Buff.

Many years ago a friend ran across a piece of walnut burl that looked more beat up and damaged then usable. At the time I had no idea if and what I would do with it, but I couldnt throw it away.

Well I ran across it and decided to try to carefully salvage it with the help of a lot of CA glue at least initially. Kept walls slightly thicker (3/16) to keep bowl intact as the remaining cracks are left open (no glue or fillers used).

Your comments, opinions and critiques are greatly appreciated.


Thanks, JL
Joseph-

My feeling on this piece-is the flow that you started on top of the rim should flow all the way down to the foot. You moved the flow out and if you hold a small chain - notice how the chain flows all the way to the bottom. This is my two cents worth, otherwise it's a real nice looking piece and a beautiful piece of walnut.

Gary,

Thanks so much for your honest critique which I value a lot more then two cents. This is part of the reason for my joining the AAW and especially this forum. Without the honest feedback, improving our craft would be a much slower process.

Thanks again.......JL
