Making a Cherry Bowl with Spikes
I have had spikes on my mind. I added spikes to a monolithic cherry bowl rough that I turned 2 years ago. In this project, I turned the inside of the bowl to a finished round shape and sanded it to 600 grit to make a polished wooden surface. I then attached walnut blocks to the outside of this cherry rough. I hand-carved the outside of the bowl with a hand grinder with carving attachment. I formed the walnut blocks into the spikes creating a bowl with a more free-formed spiky outside and a turned, very smooth, very geometric inside. I think it looks a little like a sea creature.

You know, I wasn't sure how I felt about this until right near then end, I but I love it. Looks like a spikey chestnut casing. Thanks Frank
I love it
Cool! Looks like ferrofluid.
I've said it before,I'll say it again, your skills are at another level. 👌
Something from Super Mario 🙂
What a cool piece. I loved the music you had at the end. Perfect for it.
Edit: Great fruit bowl for durians, if it weren’t for the smell. Maybe dragonfruit.
that looks like the shell of a chestnut. Very cool. I like this one a lot more than the cigar version. xD
it looks like a chestnut!
Great as always Frank!
You mentioned changing the 'joint' between the spikes and bowl, but what about modifying the base of the spikes? Have a transition wood that's not parallel, or more 'engineered' with some layered material. Maybe even layer up a material, turn it on the lathe, and use as spikes…. Endless possibilities!
Your twitter link didn't work for me?? I did manage to find your twitter though! I really enjoy your you tube many thanks for posting!
Agree it is more interesting than the previous one, having said so, I still don't like these horny bowls!
Has to be one of the best looking things you've made.
Blue koopa shell is OP
Agreed that the joint could be more interesting, but I like the look of a flat plane compared to the organic form. Maybe some splines of a contrasting color connecting the joint?
always interesting videos and great work thanks for sharing
Reminds me of a conker shell
It sort of looks like the utter of a satanic goat.
I love the "roughness" of this iteration! The finished bowl reminds me of a chestnut shell. Again, an amazing video!
before the carve it was a Gobstopper from the Gene Wilder Willy Wonka.
Bed goes up
Is that homer simpson?
Now paint the bowl blue and the spikes white and sell it to some Mario Kart fanatic for $500.
Easily one of the coolest things you've made
The end result reminds me of a chestnut casing. Very nice.
Love your creativity…. not crazy about the spikes
You made a castor bean. Great video!
That's weird. I love it.
Before inserting the spike blanks the bowl looked like a ladybug, and after carving it looked like Bowser
Cannot say I like it. Reminds me to much of a corona virus. Too thorny to be inviting.
I like that one. Great job.
Looks like a chocolate chip cookie with an attitude. Anyone got milk . Great design
