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.

Bkack Cherry and white Ash pieces of scrap I had in the shop.

The pieces of wood were 10" by 6" by 2¼ thick.

The finished dish is 5" wide by 8" and little over 2 inches high.

It will be filled with Lindt Truffles chocolates and given as a gift.

This is the dish as above except it is filled with dark chocolate.

I intend this to be a 2021 Christmas gift for my wonderful Daughter-in-law.

Here is the Rheo Thompson contact details.

Just another photo.

I found a piece of wood by the side of the road that perhaps fell from a truck that had been used under freight to allow the forks to unload materials.

The stick of wood was 48 inches long 3 inches wide and 2 inches thick.

I cut off the bad ends and the remainder I cut 5 pieces at 9 inches long.

I designed this dish using Vectric, Aspire software double sided project.

I machined 5 dishes fron this stick of wood and I think it is Elm.

All dishes machined 8 inches long little less than 3 inches wide and 2 inches high.
