This bowl started out as an experimentation in Rhino 8. Rhino is a 3D modeling program, and it has a lot of flexibility in how you can wrap things around different shapes. I wanted to create a scale like texture. The above bowl is made from cherry, and it is hefty!

Check out the build video on YouTube: The Dragon Scale Bowl.

The above bowl is made from walnut.

For a more complete write up about the bowl, check out the blog post on my companion website, Corbin’s Treehouse: The Dragon Scale Bowl on Corbin’s Treehouse.

I made four of these bowls: three in cherry and one in walnut. One was a gift for a friend’s wedding, I’m keeping one, and the other two are for sale: Dragon Scale Bowl for Sale.

People with a CNC machine can also make their own from my CAD file: Digital Files – the Dragon Scale Bowl.
