A bit of an experiment

So what do you do with the pallet that your new lathe arrived in a few weeks ago? Turn it into a bowl [emoji1787]. It’s not perfect but fancied trying something different and adding some colour.
I’ll need to spend more time making sure the timber is flat to get a perfect fit when I try this again[emoji6].

Should have burnt it instead now that got you thinking didn't it. Scorching soft pallet wood can give some nice effects Great use of the wood saves having to dispose of it

Very nice job, you might need a bigger pallet next time to be able to experiment with all the new ideas:thinks::thinks:
