Square Bowls

[James (Guest)]

This is the first time I have tried turning square bowls. The first thing I learned was to keep your fingers out of the way. All of these shapes were cut on the lathe with a minimum of sanding. High speed and very sharp tools are the secret. I used wipe on poly and the Beall buffing system for finish. Sorry about pictures, I need to build a good background for picture taking. Hope you like bowls and I wish each and all a very Happy Holidays. God Bless and safe woodworking this comming year.

This is the first piece of Zebra wood I have ever turned. Very difficult due to tearout. Absolutely necessary to keep tools razor sharp. It is 8" x 8" x 2 1/4"
