This was my second try at turning a natural edge bowl. It is from a large Maple that my father-in-law had taken down a couple of years ago.
Picture the log split in half, with the rounded bark side up. The rim of the bowl is all that is left from the bark.
Robin has had this one holding some potpourri and rose petals for some time, and with her getting ready for the Christmas in the country tour, it resurfaced last week. I have been studying it for a couple of days and I guess that's where the bowl idea from today popped up from. The ash bowl is not a natural edge, but it is a bowl, and I haven't been trying to turn bowls for quite awhile. But as I said in the previous post, change is welcome and good, and the idea was there....ready and waiting for me to act(after I played soccer with the boys in the backyard of course). As with any of my projects, the ash bowl may become a dud, and end up in a campfire somewhere down the road....you'll see what happens either way.
