Calico bowl

Well, Ive been up and working since about 6 this morning on the commissioned bowl for my friends mom. I wound up making her a "calico"-type bowl of hickory, mahogany, black ash,  and red birch.  It has a hickory bottom for stability and a hickory layer for the rim to make it strong. Ive also made it in a tumbler style so her paint brushes will stand up right and not fall out.
This bowl was tough to make as tall bowls are. And the biggest problem proved to be keeping it attached to the lathe as it was spinning. I used a jam chuck to over come this (more about jam chucks in a later posting) but at one point I got my fingers jammed between the chuck and the tool rest and the tool-I could have broken my fingers! As it is they are pretty sore at the moment.
Here is a photo of the bowl in its roughed out state:

I still need to smooth the interior of the bowl but the basic shaping is done. Ill be putting on a finish beginning Monday.
I think a calico bowl would make a great yarn bowl. What do you think?

MY KITCHEN CABINETS TODAY

 

 

 

My kitchen cabinets started as dark dirty brown mdf, very typical for a seventies mobile home.

 

 

To update and lighten the kitchen I added an inexpensive trim to the face of each door and painted them.

They were painted in a cream color semi gloss latex paint, followed by a dry brushing of a darker cream latex on the trimmed area. The handles were changed to dark wood knobs and the hinges were

 painted with an oil rubbed bronze spray. I did these cabinets years ago and Im still very happy with the look.

CHALK PAINTING A GOLD MIRROR

 

When ppl see me painting a mirror frame they ask why I dont mask it off before I start.

 

?????

 

 Because you can wash ASCP right off your mirror after it dries.

 

 

 

 ASCP can also be distressed with water before waxing.

I like using wet kitchen sponges with a soft side and a coarse side.

 

 

 Once you achieve the look you want you can finish it with wax or not!

Because mirrors do not typical get handled very much you can get away with not waxing them.

Plz consider its use in your home when making this decision.

I have waxed this one because it will probably get moved around and used in future photo shoots.

 

 

Here it hangs on the wall, safe for now!

 

Be brave and paint your mirror!
