| | Red Oak Leaf Bowl Here is a small decorative bowl that I just finished carving out of a scrap piece of 1" thick quartersawn Red Oak lumber.
The bowl is patterned after a Northern Red Oak leaf and is 5" wide by 8" long. I carved a pair of acorns under the leaf stem for visual interest.
All the carving was done by hand with gouges and knife. No sanding was done.
The leaf was finished with 2 coats of Minwax Antique Oil and a coat of Johnsons Paste wax.
Thanks for looking. |
