I have this roughed out cherry bowl, that dried really wonky, totally out of round, and to add to the troubles, the tenon on the base of the bowl cracked away from the base
Honestly, I should have put it in the "Interesting Firewood" pile, but, for some reason, I kept on trying to save this one.......
............I did the outside to a semblance of smooth between centers, and then cut a new tenon on it, and flipped it around to do the inside......
boy was this thing out of whack......
I'd say the balance is out a tad on this one
I got it done, with the help of a steady hand (lots of deep breathing) and nice sharp tools.........
Since the pics were taken I've turned off the bottom and I've started to spray this one with clear lacquer, I think there is enough going on here.
Thinnest point at the rim is somewhere around 1/16", the base is just under 1/4".
I'll post pics when it is done.
next time I get one like this it IS going in the burn pile, MAN I spent a LOT of time on this one.....
