An experimental bowl

[cashew]

A little experiment I'm trying with my scroll saw -- a flower cut like a bowl -- still have some kinks  and angles to work out -This is mostly freeform cutting based on an actual flower frrom my yard -- it's not something I've seen anybody try quite like this but I could have missed it somewhere -I think I may have to go bigger to make it work as an actual bowl  - more shaping with the dremel to do also

I had no idea the size of it!!! It,s a Whopper !!! I would think you would have wore out a dozen dremels on this project!!! The magnitude of it is incredible!!! You are Good!!!

Very unique idea. I too look forward to seeing more pics of the finished bowl. I'd also like to hear the process to create it. So far, it's beautiful.

I love the wood choice! If you decide to do more of this type of work you may want to invest in something a bit beefier than the Dremel. The Fordom tools are nice but I have an old 3/4 horse motor with a flexshaft that I found at a yard sale. It has a chuck on one end that will hold 1/4 shaft burrs etc.

But even with the dremel and some  https://kutzall.com/collections/burrs you can remove a lot of wood fast.

Great job! I'd like to try something like that.

How about doing a tutorial on the process?

maybe once I get it figured out myself -- this one the wood decided it wanted to go a bit different direction than where I intended  -- a nice one, but I'll re-try soon -- and I might as well see where this one wants to go while I'm at it ----she was singing to me when her petals were being formed-------

and to all of you for your interest

most likely --  I haven't quite figured out where she's taking me yet --- but she sang to me when her petals were forming

This is my second attempt -- the first one failed miserably (3/8 baltic ply) -- maybe once I get it figured out myself -- this one the wood decided it wanted to go a bit different direction than where I intended  -- a nice one, but I'll re-try soon -- and I might as well see where she wants to go while I'm at it ----she was singing to me when her petals were being formed-------
