Burr Elm Natural Edged Bowl

[Roger Groom]

Hi All
This is my first post for quite a while, and was a real challenge to make. It is an Elm Burr and is about 11" x 8" and 4" tall. Thickness is about 4mm. Lots of superglue were used to keep it together and it is finished with Danish Oil. Feel free to comment, either way!!

I think you've done a stunning job and made a piece of Burr Elm very proud, Well done.

(Is it just me or does the middle picture look a bit like Australia? albeit upside down!)

Hi All
Many thanks for all your comments, much appreciated. I found the best way to turn this was at high speed and very light cuts. I also had to "make" the natural edge at one spot with a dremel, due to whoever cut the burr off the tree, left a straight cut. Good fun though.

Hi All
Once again, many thanks for the comments. Every now and again you get a piece, which once complete you are really chuffed with, especially with a struggle, and this was one for me. Thanks again.
