Eucalyptus Bowl

 

This is a green-turned Eucalyptus bowl, measuring 6.75 inches in diameter by 2 inches high. It's splitting in the center bottom as it dries, and warps. I'll fill this with gold-filled epoxy when the wood stops warping. A crack on the side was filled with black CA glue. 

 Here's a photo of the warped wood after one week. It's still not completely dry yet. 

 

Iron Bark Eucalyptus Bowl

 

Here's a live edge bowl I turned a week ago. It measures 4.5 inches in diameter by 3.25 inches high. This is very hard wood. There's a worm hole in the side that I decided not to fill . . . for now. The live edge has no bark. 

 

Ceramic Mobile'

 

Here's a ceramic mobile' I made at Carol Figuroso's ceramic studio. It measures 10 inches tall by 19 inches in width. It is painted, not glazed; the colors are green and bronze. The arms are painted steel. My wife Ellen and I were invited to a once-per-week play days at Carol's studio. We're loving our times there with Carol. Good conversation and good times making art. 

Green-turned Iron Bark Eucalyptus Bowl

 

6 inch Green-turned Iron Bark Eucalyptus bowl. This photo was taken a day after the bowl was turned. Turned on the same day the tree was cut down. I was expecting this bowl to warp a lot. Here, it is just starting to raise the grain's bumpy texture.

This photo was taken one week later, the wood completely dry. The bowl is now 6 inches in diameter in one direction. 90 degrees to that measurement, it's 4 inches in diameter. The rim warping down and out in one direction and bending toward the inside of the bowl in another direction. The soft bumpy texture is much more dramatically warped. 
 

Eucalyptus Cup

 This is a 3.5 inch diameter by 3.5 inch high green-turned, vertical grain Iron Bark Eucalyptus cup. Very slight warping.
