OK, with all the winged bowls and platters posted lately, I had to give one a shot. 18" Maple burl with the bowl dyed with Cherry Amber dye. Gel poly finish then buffed. I've had a tough time with the pic. When I resize it, the bowl part gets blurry, so I'm going to try linking it.

Very nice Travis. I like the color of the dye and the finish looks great.
What gel poly finish are you using? How fast does it dry?

Travis,
that piece looks fantastic! How do you keep such a clean edge when you are using dye?

Really nice Travis, you weren't happy with just a winged bowl, now you bumped up the standard for the rest of us little guys.:(

That is one beautiful turning Travis and as noted above the dye really sets off the inside and brings life to the burl. Simply beautiful.:D ;)

Love the dye job, you done Great! This one has a lot going on with it, the natural edge with all the curves, juts, coves, inclusions just sets it off even more. This one should do great at the show!:D

Thanks everyone. Loy, I got the gel poly from Packards. The directions on the can say to recoat in 4-6 hours. I gave it a couple days before buffing. The dye was applied in a couple light coats, verrrrryy carefully coming up to the rim from the bottom with a small wad of old t-shirt.

As I said before, wonderful, just wonderful. A truly beautiful piece. I have really enjoyed your recent ventures at texturing, burning, dying and as always you turn a magnificent form. Great job!!!!:D
