Oak is a very difficult wood to work. It is hard, open pored, subject to checking and cracking and has a tendency to splinter along the grain. Raw logs have to be worked quickly to prevent checking. |

One of the few laminated bowls I've made. This one of Maple. I took small pieces of kiln dried wood and glued them together, carved and sanded smooth. I made a smaller one to fit beneath the larger. Sometime in the near future this is an idea I would like to pursue further. The potential for new and different shapes as well as different wood combinations is staggering! |
