Bowl that I scraped out - MidwestMan - 04-05-2016
I'm not much of a turner (I scrape the wood mostly)
But I scraped this yarn bowl out. The bottom has a lazy susan in it, to keep the yarn twisted easily. The wood was from storm damaged tree in the front yard, that I grabbed before the city took it. Ornamental Pear, I believe. The finish is only sprayed lacquer.

That's a fine looking yarn bowl!!
Re: Bowl that I scraped out - MidwestMan - 04-05-2016
Thank you ! I like it real well.
I'm going to make another one. The next one, I am going to install a motor with an on/off switch, to automatically wind up the yarn. That will be excellent.
Maybe I can find a market to sell some of these spinning yarn bowls, seems to me, there must be a need for them and I can't find any on the internet.

I think you did a swell job and would like to make one myself.

Nicely done, a yarn bowl is in my future

Very nice
Most yarn bowls I see have a notch/groove cut into the side. Any reason you didn't? Just curious. I don't know nothing about yarn. Lol

Your question is good. Traditionally, yarn bowls DO have a notch or a hole, or both, to feed the yarn through. Some folks use the hole, and some do not use it. I can't see ever wanting to use such a bowl.
I am sure it would be counter productive and only serve to be a point of frustration. (ie yarn getting caught in it or snagged in some way when I am spinning up the yarn)

I had never heard of a "yarn bowl", then "yarn bowl" was the challenge for our March club meeting. You did a much nicer job than I did.

Thanks Bill and others.

Looks good
How is the lazy susan bearing installed?
