This is a simple bowl made of Chinaberry, it is just over 14" in diameter. The finish is Tung oil and paste wax. comments / critques welcome

That's another beauty, Dennis. I like the little footsies on the bottom. :thumb:

Larry, the feet are very difficult to do. You have to reverse the perpendicular vernacular, then random chuck the spigot into a cross-tie. As long as the drawbar is tight, you're good to go. If not, then it's back to the drop slider for awhile. Once that's done, all that's left is the dancing. :rofl:

Larry I stand with you in solidarity as another non-turner.
Just ignore that long-haired chai swigging left coaster. ;)

ps: to me they just look like they're glued/stuck there.

Very nice piece, looks a lot like Elm to me.

The feet are great, but I agree with Vaughn......... I think..... :huh: :dunno:

All I know is that they are hard to do, and I've not had the guts to give it a try......... yet! :D

Regular ol' Lipton for this hippie. :p

My bet is that the feet are carved/sanded and part of the original blank. ;)

Vaughn said: "You have to reverse the perpendicular vernacular"
Was he talking dirty? :eek:

BTW, I very much like the bowl. :thumb:
And, yes, the foots thing has me wondering also. Well done.
 
Dennis,
As I remember the chinaberry we had on the home place, it's got a soft pith down the middle of the wood doesn't it.:dunno:... never worked with the wood myself, but have had lots of chinaberry fights with the berry and a slingshot... only when I was younger(I lived in the deep south), it was called a politically incorrect shooter.:D:D:D I will also tell you that those berry things hurt when you got hit.:wave:

Larry that's the "show off" way of doing it,:rofl: it is much simpler than that, in fact you already pointed out the way.
