I want to turn this green chestnut to a somewhat different style that I saw recently at a club demo. This bowl does not require a constant wall thickness.
Since it is green, I expect it to warp and I hope is has significant warping.
The bowl is about 10 inches diameter and 3 inches high. Walnut oil provides a renewable finish.
I wish it would warp even more.
PS. The demo was by Paul Russell. I had him critique this piece to compare it to his demo. He did a 20 inch piece – mine is 10 inch. He suggested a more shallow cove in the top, thinner wall, and shorter foot. Now I need to try it again. š
Enjoy!
