New Willow Bowl

[Kepis]

Made a start on a new Willow Bowl this morning, so far ive only roughed it out using the adze, gouge and axe, the bowl has been left thick while it dries, when the plot on the graph flatlines, i will know it's dry and can move on to refining the bowl ie thinning the walls out and then getting it finished with some fine carving.

2 Pence Piece added for scale.

Made a bit more progress on this today, had to wait a little while for it to dry before i could progress any further, i had initially smoothed the outside of the bowl down with a spokeshave, but it looked, well, to be frank, boring, being all smooth, so i attacked it with a small knife and gave it a faceted finish, im calling it the Golf Ball Bowl now

I still have to tidy the exterior surface and refine the tooling so it's finer, then i have to work on the interior of the bowl, the rim & the base, before finally geting it finished, then i guess i had better find a golfer who might like it.
