Another Walnut Bowl with a different look! I do believe this is the thinnest bowl I've ever done... I'm guessing it is about 3/16 inch. The Bowl is 8" x 3". My regular food safe formula for a finish.

Jon, That is a great looking bowl. IMHO I don't think it would have looked right any thicker. Great work.

Jon,
What is your "regular food safe formula" you used for a finish? Do you use any wax? Great looking bowl!

Jeff,
It is really quite simple. First thing I do is take the wooden bowl and rub in Mineral Oil or my preferred method of Walnut Oil.
After allowing that to soak in and dry I use this formula:
12 oz of Mineral Oil
2 oz of bee's wax
1/2 oz of Carnuba wax
I melt all of that over a medium heat in a metal bowl that is sitting on boiling/hot water. I then poor that into a Wide mouth Mason Jar.
Now, this is a mix that gives me a medium dense paste. Some may prefer softer and some may prefer a harder wax. All you need to do is to soften is to add more mineral Oil.... to harden... don't use as much mineral oil.

Well, the bowl's a beauty Jon, but given the mineral oil and some history I've had with it, I personally might take a pass on using it for food stuff. Er, no pun intended. :rolleyes:
