2 New Bowls

OK, started 2 new bowls, both of Aspen and Mahogany.
They're glued and clamped right now.
Will pull the clamps tonight.

The one on the left is about 7" in diameter x about 3-1/2" tall.

The one on the right is about 7" in diameter x about5-1/4" tall.

Not sure of the profiles at this point but want to come up with something a little different.
The taller one may have a short pedestal on it - or maybe not.

One thing's for certain, I need to pick up some more gloss poly soon.

Have plenty of satin poly but I like the gloss better.

These 2 bowls will have steel 3" faceplates installed for mounting on the lathe.

Then I will need to reverse them in the chuck with large jaws for finishing out the bottoms.

I'll be working on these off and on for the next 2 weeks or so depending on what else is going on around here. The tall one may end up looking similar to the "Tahitian Sunrise" that sold last weekend.
