View Full Version : A little bowl

I got around to finishing a little something finally.
This is Sissoo, aka East Indian Rosewood, and it's about 7x4 and the walls are a little under 3/16. All in all not too bad, IMHO, I almost have to consider it a "save" though because the shape was soooo horrible when I roughed it. Luckily it was thick enough to get something decent from it.
Anyway, feel free to critique or comment as you please.
Thanks for stopping in.

That's a pretty bowl. It comes close to being a half sphere. Nice looking wood too.

Thanks everybody!
The finish is Deft spray, then Beall buffed. Nothing fancy. ;)

You are a Cad man, how can you refer to something so beautiful as horrible:eek:

Very nice Kevin. I hope you bring it to the meeting on Saturday. I'm pretty sure it's Indian Rosewood (Dalbergia Sissoo), not East Indian Rosewood (Dalbergia Latifolia).

East, west, whatever... I just call it Sisso ;)

Thanks again everybody.
I have to thank Mike Vickery for sharing some wood from his tree trimmer. He's generous that way.
