A client at work asked if I could make here something to replace her families old Michigan Rummy board.



I thought about a series of 8 small bowls around a larger center bowl that will all be mounted to a board with a lazy susan under it. The small bowls are cherry and are (approximately) 4" in diameter and 2" tall. The center bowl is a piece of Port Orford cedar and is 6" in diameter and also about 2" tall. I'll post final pics over in the project section when it's finished.




This is the first time I tried making bowls exactly the same size. I got close, but man that's harder than you think.

I learned that when trying to make duplicate finials for a chair. Thst was only two the same. Your what? eight bowls seems extremely hard. :thumbsup:

It looks like you have a good plan and a good start going there. Making a copy of something on a lathe has proven challenging to me, I can't imagine doing multiples like you have.....great job! Very impressive.

Yea, it's hard. Seems like it would be easy, doesn't it?

Looks good to me and I bet she will love it.

I never do 2 of anything, because I can't. Nice work!

Heck, making two of something is easy as pie. I do it all the time. Now if you want them to actually be the SAME, well, that's different ... :smile:

Here's the finished product. Recipient loved it.

Sorry to say but, the one at 9:00 is 1/250th smaller than the rest. LOL

Nice work Steve.
