 | Texas woods are too beautiful and too valuable to simply turn into curly shavings on the floor beneath my lathe. Even so, I still wind up with a lot of shavings! So I generally try to core smaller, interior bowls as I rough-out larger bowls. Like their bigger brothers, these smaller bowls are set aside to dry before final-turning to the finished product.
Lately I have been turning a number of quite large bowls and as a result, producing three or four times that number of smaller, interior bowls. These are simply more rough-out bowls than I can complete, or have an immediate market for at this time. So I am offering a number of them for sale here.
The bowls are rough-turned to a reasonably thick wall dimension, generally slightly thinner on the bottom than the sides (to minimize cracking), with a tenon on the bottom suitable for lathe mounting with a spiral chuck (generally cut to fit my Oneway Talon chuck). As Mesquite is very stable with minimal distortion, my Mesquite bowls are commonly roughed-out to 5 to 10 percent wall thickness relative to the bowl diameter.
These bowls are allowed to air-dry to equilibrium for our local (Texas) conditions, somewhere around 12 to 15% moisture content, before final turning (or being offered for sale here). I do remount these rough bowls and re-turn them to round (and roughly smooth-out any CA glue or epoxy repairs) before putting them up here for sale. So if you buy one, it will be round and ready for you to do the final turning, sanding and finishing.
Bowl diameters generally range from 7" to about 16". I usually have a box or two of them to pick through for you. Prices range from $20 to $60 or so, depending on the bowl size and quality.
You can browse my current inventory on the web; please inquire for my web site address. Thanks! |
