Lidded Bowl

[Les Elm]

I did a while back using Padauk and Maple measuring 4-1/2" diameter X 1-3/4 deep.
Finished with 6 coats of Minwax Clear Satin Poly and
polished with Hut Ultra Gloss.

Very nice form and contrast with the paduak lid...I like it!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Les - that is some nice work! Love the color contrast and you sure got a killer finish on this one!

[John Hart]

Oooh...classy piece Les. Very nice. ;)

[Sid Matheny]

Super lidded bowl Les and the finish is up to your standard wonderful finish. Looks like 60 coats of poly rather than 6. I love the contrast of timbers you used.

Wow Les that is a really nice piece. I love the wood contrast and the finish is superb.

[Dave Morrow]

Wow what a wonderful piece. The materials used and that finish are outstanding.

Nice one, Les!! As others have noted, the finish is deep. Did you fill the grain on the Padauk? I have some that I have not yet tried, and it looks to have a very open grain.

Thanks John,

I filled the open grain with a slurry of sanding dust and WOP.
