Dressing Up A Plain Small Mouth Bowl

Small Mouth BowlThis same video is available on YouTube, Vimeo, and FaceBook. But you are already right here!

This project is a simple one. I had a block of wood laying around my shop. I think it came from the club wood raffle. It looked rather plain without a lot of figure. Perfect for a dyed bowl.

But why turn a normal bowl when I can turn one that is unique, totally useless, but pretty. So how about a small hollow, small base, very wide brim. The offset was to dye the wide brim surface.

The dye is alcohol based applied with a Richison Atomizer. My bowl is 7 inches by 2 inches finished with rattle can lacquer.

Enjoy!

    Hi Allon,

    Nice work, a multipurpose object.
    One remark, you could have give an extra turn, after you painted the object. In that case you would have a perfect line between painted and not painted.

    But for me it is a nice work.

    greatings
