With all this unusual cool wet weather we have been having here, I did get some indoor time and finished this bowl that I had pulled out.
A turner (used to live in Alaska) did ask for a bowl he could return on his lathe, max swing 16”, I told him I wasn’t in a habit of selling my rough turned bowls, but would make an exception, as I have known him on the turning forums from way back, so I pulled a 15 ½” one out of my overhead storage and send him a picture of it, as he liked Ash with the dark coloration, well he didn’t like this one much and let know he wasn’t going to spend much on a bowl like that.
OK, so I said fine, I’ll keep it, now I didn’t want to put it back up again and so mounted it on the lathe, then over a couple of weeks time I returned and finished it.
The wood was pretty hard by now, having been rough turned in 2003 and sat inside all these years.
This is the result, 15 ½” White Ash bowl with handles and with some dark heart coloration, Polymerized Tung oil finish.
Any and all comments welcome.
