Deep Elm Bowl with natural bark edge -

tree cut from near family farm in Manakau in 1980s

Shallow Rimu bowl 20cm

Fun Totara post project - piwakawaka (fantail)

Project 5 - an interesting lip

This was a blank of dark chocolate coloured wood (unknown variety).
It turned out to be very hard, dry and dense.  Very challenging to turn.

Project 4 - Adding pyrography

This was a half finished blank from my late uncle rex's wood pile.

Project 3 - Nuts and Sweets Bowls

Two Rimu bowls for Christmas Presents 

These bowls were created from a dry block of Rimu that came from my Late uncle Rex

Project 2 - Five Small trinket bowls for kids Christmas presents

This is my first real project.  Making five small bowls for our daughters and nieces for christmas presents from Rimu which has come from their Nanas old loom.  The loom was apparently built in the mid 1970's which means that the wood has been dry for over 40 years so is very dry.
