This is the finished cherry bowl that I started the last time I was up at the shop. It turned out great and I love how the top curves up and over and flows down into the bowl. This gives it an interesting look. The bowl is over 5" tall and 91/2" wide and is over 3 1/2 " deep in the center. If you are interested in this bowl, please visit my website at www.jaybees-crafts.com.
Thanks for looking and if you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know. Remember we all learn from each other and we hope we never stop.
From our wood shop located in the beautiful Western North Carolina mountain town of Brasstown, we have created a variety of hand crafted wooden products. We try to utilize local salvaged wood, from windfall trees, other wood shop projects, or recently cut wood that would normally go into a landfill.

How to Made a New Cherry Bowl
I have roughed in a cherry bowl out of some of the wood I got from a friend's downed tree. I have had this wood drying for about 6 or 7 months, so I thought I would rough one out and see what we have. I cut the shape I would like to achieve, and then waxed in anchorseal to prevent cracking as the piece dries. I will continue to post pictures as this project is progressing.
