Ha! ... made ya look

This bowl was really a challenge! ... I almost gave up a couple of times... This is the biggest bowl I have ever made... by far! ... just shy of 16" across!

It is Red Cedar... so now my whole shop is covered in red.... and my house smells like the inside of a cedar chest....

Just wanted to show y'all... it will be awhile before I attempt something like this again... stupid thing kicked my butt!

It's absolutely beautiful! So I guess sending you a cedar log and asking for one is out of the question, huh?!?!

I love the smell of wood. Not too fond of cedar but the bowl is beautiful... nice work.

When married we use to make cedar chests. EVERYTHING smelled like cedar... ughhhh. My all time favorite is the simple pine...

Thanks for sharing

Marc,
That is absolutely beautiful! I love wooden bowls and untinsils. I have not been able to figure out how to treat them so they can actually be used without causing bacteria forming in them. Anyhow, Beautiful Job!!

Here's the trick Joy...

If you already have bacteria in the wood, you will have to sand it down and then wash with warm soap and water. Let it air dry overnight.

Maintaining wood utensils and bowls... the trick is to only use mineral oil... all other oils are food based and will turn rancid eventually.

Hand wash wood.... no dishwasher. Let air dry overnight then wipe with mineral oil every 3 or 4 washings. If the wood is fuzzy, sand a little with a very fine sandpaper or if you want just use one of those green scrubbing pads (the "3M" type) followed by a piece of brown paper bag. This will remove the fuzzies then treat with mineral oil.
