For some reason I like covered bowls and this one is made out of one of my favorite woods. Black Agate. Hope you like it.

Mark: The wood is rough turned , boiled for a few hours and let to dry down to about 10% when it is in the sun. Then I finish turning , sand, apply laquer sealer and then polyurethe floor finish. Let it set for a month and wet sand, polish with car buffing compound in the lathe and wax. I will post a photo of some bowls waiting out the drying period. Patience is everything if you want the shine.

Gorgeous wood, and a beautiful bowl, Jim. I'd insert "wolf_whistle.mp3" if I actually had something of that variety. Also, the layer-o-bowls in the polishing phases had my mouth agog.

Beautiful bowls you got there. Can we see a pic of the lidded bowl with the lid off? That is a nice shine you got on 'em. Thanks for showing.

Rich: Here is the photo less the cover. Sorry about the photo the secretary usually does them and is not here today.

Man!!! That is plumb beautiful. I gotta try one of them. Too bad patience is not my strong point. I'm working on it though. Thanks for the pictures.

I was wondering how you were going to cover a bowl with agate.:rolleyes:
Never heard of the wood, but it sure is nice and you did a great job on it.
