Natural edged burr bowl
The timber for this is yellow box from Australia - the choice was particulalrly apt as it was made for a friend who lives there - must be one of the most well travelled pieces of wood going. It was very hard work turning, with lots of toold sharpening needed, but worth it in the end.

Triangular candle holder (D Watson)
The method for making this (certainly not for persons of a nervous disposition) was demonstrated to the club by Tony Wilson. This particular example was made from a 4" cube of Lime.

This is a double bowl (one hemisphere inside the reverse curved and pierced outer). Made from Cedar of Lebanon - so it smells wonderful.

Natural Edge bowl in Walnut (K Rowley)
A “Natural edge” bowl cut from a freshly felled log of walnut and “rough turned” to a thickness of approx 2 cm. This was then allowed to dry for 18 months, by which time it was well seasoned and ready to be made into the finished ornamental bowl.

Winged bowl in maple (S Murdoch)
This piece was the winner of the Dec 2004 round of the bi-monthly competition. It is turned from a rectangular blank and measures 273mm x 105mm x 50. Turning this kind of piece requires extreme caution as the "wings", as they rotate, could easily remove a digit in a careless moment. Definitely not recommended to be attempted by beginners.

Pedestal bowl (D Watson)
This was made from 3 nicely matched pieces of spalted beech as a wedding present. It now resides with the happy couple in Michigan, USA.
The top bowl is 14" diameter and the whole stands just short of 9" tall.
