Eucalypt Bowl 1 of 5

Churchlands Senior High School, WA
Teacher: Peter Jones

Tasmanian oak
300mm dia x 50mm h

For my bowl, I did not have a clear-cut idea of what the bowl would look like at the end of the building process. I knew that I wanted a smooth flow with long sides. I also knew that I would only be satisfied with my finished bowl if it were as smooth as possible. To achieve this, I went to Bunnings and bought some sheets of extremely high grit sandpaper for example 400 and 600 grit. I used the lathe and tools provided by the school to begin shaping and carving my bowl. I then used progressively finer sandpaper to achieve the glass-smooth texture. I took my time during the lathing process and this paid off due to the result.
