Spalted Maple Bowl and Tool Gloat

[John Timberlake]

I just got the Beall buffing system on sale at Woodcraft and used it on this spalted maple bowl. Size is about 7" across by 3" high. Got the blank half turned at a turning club meeting with lots of cracks started. had to turn away a lot to get to point the cracks were acceptable. Still some in the bottom. Finish is just BLO and then the wax from the buffer.

Nice job John. I love spalted wood and you did great with that Maple. Great gloat as well, looks like it is paying off!
