Exploring Negative Space By Turning Rustic Bowl

Rustic Apple Bowl

This video post is best viewed here on this page. In case of technical difficulties, it is also available on YouTube and FaceBook.

I’ve wanted to explore negative space project. This is one that I thought of recently. It is rustic with voids between slices. UV resin “tack welded” slices together until more resin could be applied.

The center slice has a mortise on the bottom side for mounting to the lathe. However, the lathe was used only for measurement and holding. Measurement was the distance between the edge of the slice and a wooden platform mounted in the tool rest.

UV resin cures with ultra-violet light in contrast to two-part epoxy resin. I purchase the resin from Amazon – there are a lot to choose from.

My apple bowl is about 10 inches diameter and 3 inches high, finished with wipe-on poly.

Enjoy.
