Cut a dead maple in Maine the summer before last and roughed these out. I pulled out five of them from the box to finish turn a couple days ago. After using diluted white glue, then repeated coats of shellac, I put three back. Maybe I will get to them…… someday…. or maybe not.

Joe Watson had a question about white spots in some maple he had turned and I mentioned something about white rot and said I would post a picture. I assume that’s what the white spot on the outside is.

It is very soft and would have been difficult to deal with if it had been on the end grain portion of the bowl. I left much of the tree in the woods because of it.

12 x 3 x on the open bowl and 10 x 4 on the mixing bowl. One coat of polymerized tung oil so far.
Thoughts and comments are always welcome!
Put the photo tent away this morning so I will give you folks a break!:)
