When that cedar is done right it is just beautiful. Jim, you did this one right! :D I love the form and finish. Nice piece of wood and and excellent job of bringing it to life. ;)

[Dick Parr]

Very nice Jim, you did that piece of cedar justice. Great Job :D

[Gary Max]

I like the knots in the bottom---Great job
Most of the bowls I turn are out of Cedar so I may be prejudic.
Jim how are you and the new lathe getting along??

[Glenn Hodges]

Most of the cedar I turn gets hairline cracks in it, did you have any problems with this? This looks great, and I sure like the smell, untill I have turned it all day.

[Jeff Sudmeier]

Great looking Bowl Jim. I really love the way that cedar looks!

[Jim Becker]

Very nice form, Jim...one of my favorites for a bowl like this.

[Michael Pfau]

Nice Job Jim, man I bet that smells very good. Do you like the beall system? I am going to buy a buff system and am looking at the beall.

[Jim Ketron]

Thanks Men!

Gary I cant say enough about it! I Love it:D very nice machine!

Glenn I have had good luck so far using Dave Smiths Alky methods.
I did drop one in the floor and cracked it:o I think a lot has to do with how long it has been cut and how fast you get it sealed up. I forgot to seal up one blank after cutting on the bandsaw, went to the shop the next day and it had cracks all over it:o

Michael I love my Beall system I have the three seperate wheels and the three 4" bowl buffs. I Built my own set up with a blower motor and homade stand. amazing what a diff from just Watco and Watco with the Beall makes. Here is what I made http://www.sawmillcreek.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=15324&stc=1
