“Test Pattern” is a tapered stave bowl turned from morado and figured maple.

Tapered staves are made with a compound miter cut.  Both the sawblade and miter gauge are at an angle for each side of the stave.  The sides of the bowl slope out at a 35-degree angle.  The top rim and the bottom were constructed separately and then glued to the staved portion before final turning.

This bowl is protected by multiple coats of a durable Danish oil finish, waxed and buffed to a satin sheen.

Woods Used:  Morado and Figured Maple.

Dimensions:  11-1/2 inches at it widest point, 4-3/8 inches across the base, and 5-1/2 inches tall.

Use and care:  Dust and fingerprints can be removed with a soft cloth.  Please do not use this bowl to hold anything that retains moisture.
