Here is a little ambrosia maple bowl this one is full of markings. It measures 7 1/2" x 2" with 3/8" wall

Hiya Jim,


The bowl looks great! What finishing techniques did you use?

Wow, that is really beautiful! I'm a HUGE maple fan, and I love the way that the ambrosia highlights your bowl! Great job! Did you have enough stock left to make a matching goblet?

Chris I sanded to 600 and just buffed on the Beall.

Tom I do have some stock to make a goblet but have not made one yet I sold most of the ambrosia blanks on here and used the funds to help buy my new 3520a lathe

Yes Chris I used a Vacuum chuck to finish off the tennon. The vac makes it nice for finishing off the bottom and to get that last bit of sanding on the bottom too!
