Cherry Bowl with Spikes
It has been a few years since I have finished a wood turned bowl blank that has had a crack in it. I have used a method in the past where I cut the bowl blank in half on the band saw along that crack. Then I build a new wooden insert to fill that space and glue the bowl blank back together again. Finally, I turn the glued up parts into a finished bowl with an interesting insertion. The space where the crack used to be now celebrates its defect. In this bowl, I made a simple segmented insert to go into the space that I cut out. I then made walnut spikes and attached them along the insert. It was more of an experiment and a fun project. In the end, it doesn’t look too bad but it is a tiny bit silly. What it has given me is a bunch of ideas for doing more of this kind of project. I would like to do something where I attach rough pieces to the outside of the bowl blank and then carve the outside with a grinder or a sanding disc and shape the outside of the bowl with the spikes more organically, while turning the inside of the bowl on the lathe.

If the spikes were super extra sharp you could say the bowl was made from a locust tree and you just left the thorns on 😃
"Hey, pass me the bowl, willya?"
"Dis one?"
"No, de udder one."
Punk Rock bowl.
Really cool.
When you were making the spikes, it looked like a lego. Which could also make for a cool project. Giant wooden legos.
It will certainly me make for a conversation piece sitting on the coffee table. 😄 Always something interesting and unique coming from you. Thanks for sharing!
Interesting. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day.
I wondered when you made the ring for the insert, how would that work as a handle? If you leave the insert as the full circle?
Great work Frank! Now make it a sphere & add a lot more "Spikes" and you would have a likeness of the dreaded Corona Virus! Happy New Year everyone! Be well & stay safe…….👍👍😉😉
corony bowl
So, is that a hedgehog bowl, or Viking helmet? That's the question…
Happy new year!
have you ever considered a different shape of bowl, instead of spherical more of an ellipsoid, either wider or narrower?
Fun piece!
No milk today!
The stop motion assembly is so fun and whimsical! I love the bowl!
I wanna see one where the spikes go through. I feel like there's an interesting opportunity to do something fun with the inside.
I cannot even begin to express how much I admire your commitment (even after almost two years) to "bed goes up…bed goes down"! It always makes me smile. (Okay, smirk, actually.)
Absolute crazy fun!
Should call it Covid19!
When you're really feeling artistic, make a bowl with spikes on the inside.
Thank you for al your wonderful videos Frank! A blessed and Happy New year to you and your family 🌞
Frank, love your work, great job on this one. Questions, do you still use the orbiting time
