Bowl

[Bernie Weishapl]

Well the wife pick up a piece of the wood Jim sent me and said she wanted a candy dish for the coffee table. So I couldn't wait. I finished up a clock I was working on and chucked up this piece. It has one coat of oil to pop the grain. It will get a couple of coats of shellac then General Finishes WTF. It is 7" across and 2" tall. She is a happy camper and told me to tell Jim that the wood is beautiful. Thanks again Jim.

Bernie, that is an excellent bowl!! Looks a bit like redwood - beautiful whatever it is.

Right out of Sequoia Natl Forest...about 80 years ago! Nice work Bernie...that stuff is so old it will suck up oil like a sponge!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks again. Jim I didn't think it was ever going to quit soaking in oil. Not sure if I will put another coat on before the shellac or not.

[Faust M. Ruggiero]

Let's see. You had fun, you satisfied your artistic needs and you made your wife happy. Bernie, you had a good day. I was going to tell you I like the bowl but as long as your wife likes it no one else matters anyway.

Nice bowl Bernie. How is the redwood for turning? Not too much redwood here in MN :cool:

[John Keeton]

I'm bettin' there ain't much in Kansas either, Greg, unless Burr sends him more!:D I have turned a couple of pieces, and if Bernie's was like mine, it was a dream to turn.
