barb.j.enders Posted March 24, 2025 Report Posted March 24, 2025 Bragging rights-not. This was supposed to be a shower gift for my niece. I stupidly glued the base to the rings before sanding. While tring to correct, made some gouges in the bottom. I am now the owner of a new, small bowl! Made with Poplar. Locer the grain in it. Finish is beeswax/mineral oil. Maybe we need to start a new category.....Not Bragging Rights RabidAlien, Dan, TexasDIY and 6 others 9 Quote

Dan Posted March 24, 2025 Report Posted March 24, 2025 It still looks like a good bowl to me. I did something like that once. I cut the bottom off on the and saw, sanded, and glued the bottom back in place. barb.j.enders 1 Quote
Gonzo Posted March 25, 2025 Report Posted March 25, 2025 I did the exact same thing on the walnut bowl that I just finished. Luckily, I caught it in time, as the glue had not yet set. Nice bowl though! barb.j.enders 1 Quote
