Machining two sided wooden dishes has been a challange for me, but here are a few photos.

White Ash from our bush lot, I glued 4 pieces.

Laminated pieces like this will prevent the dish from warping.

about 3 inches wide and 7 long.

I used the same candies in all the photos to help indicate the size of the dishes.

Sugar Maple also known as hard maple, I cut this tree in the 1980 s and stored it under the deck.

As you can clearly see some bugs or worms had their way and chewed it up pretty bad.

I glued together a couple of pieces and thought I would carve a dish. Also note there is a hole through the dish.

Same amount of candies as above.

Cut from the same cut file as the dishes above.

Laminated White Ash from our wood lot.

Another Dish from White Ash.

Cut from the same file.

Black Walnut, I changed things a little and made a larger dish.

Black walnut is a very nice wood to carve.

The raw block of wood was 12 by 5.5 inches and 2.125 thick.

I used the same amount of candies as the photos above to indicate the capacity.

Quarter Cut Red Oak, a block of wood given to me.

I wanted to try a round dish.

This turned out pretty nice.

Block was 6.5 by 6.5 by 1.75 inches thick.

And again I use the same amount of candies.

Black Walnut, this was the first wooden dish I machined with my CNC.

I could have made the wall and the lip a little thiner, maybe next time.

YUP same candies.

White Ash Laminated, but when I machined this dish I made a mistake and cut too deep while machining the top dish side.

Then flipped the material over to machine the bottom and learned I had cut too deep.

I made a correction and cheated the machine and ended with a small lip on the inside of the dish.

As my Dad used to say, a blind man on a fast horse would never see that. YUP same candies.

A couple of Christmas Gifts.

A little closer look, wood is White Ash from our woodlot.

About 11 ¾' long and about 1 ¾" deep.

Personal ID.

Close up of width.
