My Second Bowl

[Les Elm]

I turned a while back turned with a piece of Tiger Maple.
Sanded to 400x, and applied 6 coats of MINWAX Satin WOP and polished with Huts Ultra Gloss while still on the lathe.
Measures 6-1/2" X 2-1/4" with 1/4" wall thickness through out.

Very nice bowl and finish. It needs your signature on the bottom!

[Dick Wilson]

Les, very nice second bowl. Great finish. I have been thinking about making the jig you used.

[Mark Hubl]

Nice bowl Les, great finish.

[Steve Schlumpf]

I love the way curly maple plays with the light! Very nice bowl - especially for your second one!

[Roger Chandler]

Great bowl! Super nice donut chuck!!!

[John Hart]

Love the bowl and the finish.....and I really like the chuck!! Sheesh...I gotta make one of those.:rolleyes:

[Jim Burr]

Super looking wood Les! I'm not a huge fan of Hi gloss finish, but the curl really pops with what you've done. If you lack the correct usage for this bowl...I have some M&M's that could use a good home! Nice to know your bowls look as great as your pens!

[Tim Thiebaut]

Very nice bowl! And I love that slab of wood in the first picture!

[Jon Prouty]

beautiful -I gotta try the WOP on the lathe. How long did you wait between coats?

Thanks
Jon

[Baxter Smith]

Great looking bowl Les!

[Les Elm]

Thanks Jon,

With the WOP I waited 4-6 hours between coats.
