A Bowl From Recycled Chair Slats

It's lockdown time again in NZ fortunately only for a week, but didn't have any time to buy in supplies for some projects so I have to use what I have around.
This bowl is made from slats rescued from a broken garden chair found in a skip

Wooden slats
Wood glue
Sand paper
Olive oil
Tools
Band saw
Lathe

I had wood from an old garden chair
Possibly teak, more likely kwila but a nice tropical hardwood, too nice to go to landfill
So I sanded them and cut to size

I left the rounded sides as I wanted voids in the bowl

I used my band saw to cut the blank roughly to shape

I turned the outside shape that I wanted and sanded smooth

Once I had turned and sanded the inside I cleaned out all the void areas with a small drill bit

I cut a sacrificial piece of plywood which I glue to the base with a piece of paper in between to make separation easier (I was told this about 50 years ago at school) means there are no screw holes in the wood
Then remounted it in the lathe

I haven't decided on a use yet so coated with a food safe oil (olive oil) to bring out the wood colours
