Butternut Coffee Table Bowl

[John Hart]

There's an Amish drying kiln about a mile from me and the choices are to die for. They had this nice 10 foot slab of Butternut...14" X 3" that had my name on it.
Been making a variety of things but yesterday I decided I needed a nice coffee table bowl.
13 X 2.5.....WOP satin

That picture didn't show off the grain very well...too much sunlight

You have done a fine job on that bowl, I really like the shape. I have a piece of Butternut, but haven't turned it yet. How was it to turn?

[John Hart]

It's pretty nice to turn. As easy as cherry but much easier to sand. No tear out. Just a pleasure. It has an interesting smell....almost minty

[David Delo]

Really nice form on both of the pieces John.

[Robert Hayward]

Nice work ! Very eye pleasing shape.
