Tambootie Natural Edge Bowl

By msgdit, member Dec 11, 2009

This is a Natural Edge Bowl made out of a Tambootie branch. It was turned off center on a lathe. It is about 10″ x 6″. It was finished with friction polish to bring out the natural colors of the wood.

Wow....very nice indeed. I am going to try that. Did you have to turn at a slower speed since it was off-center?

Yes, you have to really slow down the lathe for turning off center. i had it at about 650 rpm. it still vibrated a lot though. thanks for the good comments, i appreciate it.
