Vintage Black Friday

I am hooked on Estate Sales
and here is why.....





MY LATEST ESTATE SALE FIND
This wooden bowl is BIG.
I don't know if you can tell how BIG it is...

It is 22inches in diameter which is GIANT
for a hand turned burl bowl.

It was sitting outside of a home having an sale
leading me to be very excited about what might be inside
But, it was the only thing I wanted in the whole house.

  3. Twenty-two inches is HUGE for a hand-turned bowl. I've turned small bowls and they're tough enough! Just think of the size of the tree burl than came from. I probably couldn't even lift it, let alone turn it on my average sized lathe. Great find!
