A few weeks ago I laid up some more of the curly White Oak from the same board I made the last bowl I posted; it had been sitting in the press curing while I have been packing for our move.
Today I had a chance to throw it up on the lathe a make a go at it; This curly whit oak is a real challenge to turn I was able to get two blanks glued up and had tried to turn the smaller one a few weeks ago and had a catch and it blew out the tenon I've just set that one aside for now and worked on this 10" x 5" bell shaped bowl today to give myself a break from all this moving stuff.
The finish is just one coat of Tung oil so far.
I like the way this one came out even though it doesn't have as much figure as the last one; I'm open for C&C.
