Hi folks, I would like to share in this GAW some of the fruit of my woodturning endeavors. This has proved to be a very therapeutic activity, especially in these difficult times we are living.
Along with the bowls, there will be a knife…of course
Up for grabs is an Opinel #6 in olive wood and a Garden Opinel. On these I will have the chance of getting artsy by inscribing/wood burning your name on it edit: You can opt out of the inscribing of course.
( I already did an “easier” to open notch on the 6 and a leather lanyard on the garden.)
The garden knife saw minor use once when camping and boating this summer at the Rideau Canal in eastern Ontario. The #6 I never really used, just carried it a couple of times.
I am very happy how these two bowls in walnut and mahogany “turned out”
I like how the lines flow on the walnut one. The mahogany has beautiful chatoyance/stripes that show nicely when you hold and turn the bowl side to side.
To enter the GAW:
Post that you are in.
Post a picture of a traditional knife and tell us/show us something about any hobby, sports, arts, craft or ANY activity that helps you distress, unwind and brings joy to your life.
Ex. walking in nature, fishing, hunting, gardening, baking, music, painting, play board games, train your dog, read a comic book, sit by the campfire, volunteering, meditate, hug a tree , ...the list is endless.
Rules (not too many I hope, we are trying to relax here lol).
1. If interested, enter for yourself only. I want everyone to have the same chance to win.
2. GAW is open to contributors to the porch, regardless of where you live.
3. EDIT UPDATE : I will let it run until Tuesday Nov 24 at 8 pm eastern time. I will then surprise my daughter while she practices her violin on Wednesday am and have her do an “artsy draw” from the names in one of the bowls and post a video with the results soon after.
4. First draw picks a bowl and a knife, second draw gets the leftovers, lol.
