Bowl that I scraped out
#11
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.

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.

As of this time I am now teaching vets again.  If you have any lumber scraps we can use them to glue up to make some bowl from a board which we have not done yet..  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

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.
