Gorgeous wild cherry burl bowl turned from a 20 pound “chunk” from a neighbor’s tree, demonstrating great color, grain, worm and insect holes. The assorted “defects” add to the appeal of bowl. Its shape is reminiscent of space craft seen in movies from yesteryear.
Large Cherry Burl Bowl
$195.00
Product description
This section demonstrates the process of turning a non-descript piece of cherry wood into the finished piece. One of the major challenges initially is that the wood is unbalanced and the lathe jumps as it turns at 360 rpm. This lessens as the higher edges are removed and the piece becomes more balanced. Care must be taken that chunks of the blank do not break off and fly in any direction, including at the turner. By the time the bowl is finished about 90% of the original wood has been removed, becoming a large pile of wood chips.

BowlsbyPaul
My collection consists of hand turned bowls, plates, platters and vases made from native American woods including: apple, box elder, cedar, cherry, oak, hickory, poplar and walnut. They may be turned from solid blanks or alternating strips of different woods and grains yielding intricate and fascinating shapes and patterns. The wood’s natural grain, as well as knots, cracks & inclusions, enhance the beauty of each piece. If you would like to see how a bowl is made from a raw piece of wood, go to the “Large Cherry Burl Bowl” to view the steps in the turning process

Every item is shipped directly from the artist. Due to the varied nature of the art on this site, there is no perfect “one-size-fits-all” shipping option. Because of that we offer the artists (and you) a couple of different shipping options:
USPS Retail Parcel Shipping and Handling: The artists may choose to offer this option if the item is less than 1lb.
USPS Retail Ground Shipping and Handling: The artists may choose to offer this option if the item is less than 35lbs.
Contact the Artist to Make Shipping Arrangements (You will be billed for shipping costs separately by the Artist): Some artists may offer this as an option. This would allow both you and the artist to work out the best shipping option that is not automatically generated through the system. If this option is chosen, the artist will bill you separately for the cost of shipping.
Local Pickup: For artists who offer this, they will contact you to arrange time and location.
