Teak Bowl (thanks to Don Orr for the blank)

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Picture does not do justice to this one. 5 1/4" X 1 1/2" This wood was so easy to turn. Thanks again Don.:)

I really like that bowl Christopher! Great form!

After I finished, it reminded me a bit of an offering plate at church.

First thing I thought of, and it would be a very nice one Chris.

Nicely done, Chris. I've wondered what teak would be like to turn?:)

[Barry Stratton]

That's what come to mind when I read that it looked like a collection plate. Beautiful bowl Chris.

Beautiful bowl, Chris!

[Don Orr]

Very nice Christopher !! Nice to see you put this wood to good use. Teak is kind of a strange wood to turn. Kind of soft, but not really. Kind of oily, cuts cleanly, clogs sandpaper. Rough on tools because it contains silica. End product is usually nice, as we can see.

I used danish oil and then 2 coats of clear gloss Deft.

Thanks everyone.
