Roughed out Walnut

[Donny Lawson]

Here is a walnut bowl I roughed out this evening. It's in a DNA bath right now. It's 13 3/4x 4". It should be ready to finish in a month or so.

Nice big bowl--really like the sap/heart combination

[Edward Cypher]

Beautiful grain!!!

[Brian Kent]

Niceness is on the way!

[Bernie Weishapl]

That is going to be one nice bowl Donny when finished.

[Jim Burr]

Dude!!! That is a monster!! It's gonna be great when it's finished!

Donny, excuse my ignorance, but what is a "DNA bath"?

[allen thunem]

dna= denatured alcohol

[bob svoboda]

Love the wood. That's going to be a great bowl. Fingers crossed it won't crack.

[Dan Forman]

Lots of contrast in that wood, ought to hold a bunch of popcorn! Dan

Chris --- Some folks soak their work in DNA in order to cut down on the dry time. The DNA replaces water in the cells, then evaporates more quickly than water.
