Black Limba !

[Adam Howard]

Here's a new bowl from a piece of Black Limba. Really nice to turn, about the same texture as Walnut. Kind of stinky, I thought, but worth it.

When I got it turned, I found it had a really unique pattern inside.

Nice Bowl Adam!

Adam, you have posted an attractive bowl with a pleasing design. I think the form will be well accepted by anyone viewing it. The rolled lip is a plus to the whole on this piece. This lip seems so natural on it. The wood speaks and I listen with my eyes and they heard beauty. What type of finish did you use?

[Mark Cothren]

What a cool bowl, Adam! The wood is great and I love the form and rolled lip! Nice job!

Thanks for the picture!

Spectacular!

I'm not sure words can do that one justice. Nice job.

[Jim Becker]

I like that a lot, Adam. Carrying the rim form to the base is a nice touch...it really looks unified. Beautiful form...and very nice material. Bravo!

[Adam Howard]

Thanks everybody for the kind words.

On the finish, it's got two coats of a 1:1 mixture of BLO and Polyurethane.

One more coat, and then I'll put it through the Beall buff system next week.
