During a Christmas trip to NZ last year I had the pleasure of meeting up with two woodturners in Auckland, Ian Outshoorn and Terry Scott, both great Kiwis and very skilled turners! Terry gave me a box of wood to bring back to our club in East Texas and Ian loaded me down with all sorts of goodies. One of these was a rough turned Puriri bowl blank which was well sealed! Being partly turned saved me luggage weight - and allowed me to pick up more wood in Australia on the way home!! :D

The finished bowl is 10" by 3". Finished with Tung Oil and satin spray lacquer. I filled the small crackes with epoxy casting resinh tinted black with Inlace dye. What a painful process :( The epoxy is so thin it goes everywhere except where you want it and when you think it's cured and sand it down it shrinks back below the surface. It will be CA glue again for me on future projects!
C&C welcome
