Palm root bowl

Palm "wood" is a difficult material to work with, consisting of sponge and wire. I used most of a two-oz. bottle of thin ca glue to hold the roots together and harden the rest of the surface. I also spent a band saw blade cutting through the roots. The final shaping was done with 36-grit paper by necessity, then sanded through the grit sequence to 600. A thin piece of persimmon (a remnant of the glue block) was left on the foot. All comments welcome.

Very nice and unusual well done.

very nice

Excellent use of the material. So unusual, I'd call it a keeper

The amount of work put in really speaks well. Interesting and unique. Thanks for sharing.

David, I think this piece looks terrific! As long as the end product looks like this then sandpaper is great. Nice job.

Extremely well done. Palm seems to be more of a grass than wood, and for turning, close to celery. Wow!

Glad you went through the trouble of making this piece. Such unusual wood and a real pleasure to look at.

That is REALLY cool and unusual. I like seeing things that surprise me and this one is great! Thanks

All your hard work was rewarded with this piece. Great Job and a real one of a kind!
