This is a commission that I just finished....a donut bowl out of a lovely piece of Hampshire walnut from Prime Timber (Andy Prime described it as 'uninteresting stock').
It's a good size, at 13" x 4" and is finished with 2 coats of cellulose sealer and 3 coats of microcrystaline wax.
I hadn't made one of these before and had underestimated just how precise I'd have to be to keep the curve flowing , especially as the customer wanted a rounded well rather than the flat-bottomed well that you sometimes see in donut-bowls. In the end, I made a profile template of 1/4 and 1/2 circle and used them to repeatedly check the profile as it took shape.
C&C Always welcome..,.,Les
