This one was roughed in October and is now very dry. I now see some tool marks which will need attention. Funny what the camera sees and I don't. My wife doesn't like this form - says it looks like a salad bowl. I was working on the profile and it's kind of what I was going for.

I like salad bowls as well. My best sellers. Sanding pine is a pain, and I usually won't do it. It really helps to do the soap soak, or wet oil sand. Having a multi spectrum light is a key as well, or take it outside to see what you have missed.

I like the shape of your bowl Doug. Some folks would say that your blue pine is actually spalting. Take a look at some Norfolk Island Pine pieces with spalting and see the resemblance.
If mama ain't happy nobody is happy. DAMHIKT!

That is a pretty nice bowl, Doug. A little more sanding/finish work and you will be off to the races...........I think a gloss finish will enhance the pine, and give a more hardened surface on this type of soft wood.......that being said, some folks do not like gloss and like a softer finish, so either way it will be nice...........durability would be enhanced a little IMHO with a harder finish.

Nice bowl and wood. Do you get a lot of sap when you turn this kind of pine?

Not usually, Greg. If there's a branch inclusion in the work, sometimes there is a lot of pitch concentrated there and it gets messy.

Doug you and that pine are becoming close friends and all the pieces show it.

I really like you work with pine. That blue fungus coloring really adds to the beauty in pine I think. Is this some of your local Ponderosa?
btw, everytime I try to make a salad bowl my wife says nice bowl but it doesn't look like a salad bowl.

Doug, I don't think you have posted a piece of pine yet that I didn't think was pretty.

Very nice Doug!
Salad bowl, popcorn bowl, chip bowl, whatever you call it, it looks good and the blue stain in the wood is pretty cool!

Hey Curt. Yes, this is from the tree the across-the-street neighbor lost last summer.

I like the shape! Classic bowl. Sure, you can make fancy-shmancy ones but sometimes you gotta go old school.

That was my thinking, too, Roger. This is about 5 coats of WOP. Still to be buffed.
