High folks,
Turned a couple of cherry bowls this weekend. I'm happier with the first than the second. The just have a coat of oil in them, once they dry I'll buff them. They are about 6" in diameter.
Thanks for lookin.

Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!
How high a grade did you sand? I haven't seen much Cherry with the Glow and Glimmer of these.

Very nice Bill. I especially like the time you spent on the foot and the way it doesn't take away from the overall roundness. Really beautiful.

Thanks folks.
Bruce, I sanded to 320. They should gloss up once I hit them with the Beall though I'm afraid to touch the second one for fear I'll break it.
The wood came from this piece of cherry. I'm actually a little disappointed that there wasnt even more figure in it.
The natural edge actually comes from the face of the crotch and not the bark.
