Live Oak Bowl (54)

Thu, 28 Nov 2024 18:14:02 +0000

A friend gave me some live oak a while back, and while I’ve use smaller pieces for a few things, I had a fairly large chunk that I figured would make a bowl. It had bark inclusions and a few checks, and was generally pretty gnarly, but I mixed up some epoxy and red dye (too much red dye, based on the finished result) and filled and solidified the fragile bits, then turned this bowl.

I’m fairly pleased with the result. I intentionally left a live edge on the bowl, and I think it adds something. My sweetie is less sure about that, pointing out how the bowl would be no good for soup.

Thanks for the wood swap, Nathan! This was a fun one to work.
