Black Walnut bowl.

[Leo Van Der Loo]

I made this rim ringed Black Walnut bowl, the blank had a couple of knots in it, but I was able to keep them from splitting, he bowl is 8" wide and 5" high, thanks for looking :).
Any/all comments appreciated :D

Yet another nice piece of work there Leo. I like the double rim detail and I love that big ol knot, nice!

Nice bowl Leo! Beautiful wood and I really like all the detail work around the rim - especially the undercut! Very clean and precise!

What kind of finish did you use? Looks fantastic!

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Thanks Bernie and Bill for your kind words :D.
Bill it has a polished tung oil finish on it, and Carnauba waxed.

Nice work, Leo. I like the rim detailing; it is very different, in a good way! On the tung oil finish; how long roughly before it is hard enough to polish? I know it takes quite a while, but I'm curious. It certainly would be less hazardous to your health, so to speak.

Hi Nathan, thanks for the comment, about the Tung, it depends on the drying conditioning, (temperature and humidity play both a roll) careful buffing is advised as it's easy to go through a finish, but I would wait at least a week and probably 2 before polishing, have fun and take care :)

That's a CROCK! No, really! That is beautiful work. Great finish sanding/oiling too. Now to get it filled appropriately.

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Hi Dave, thanks, get it filled ??, I hope I will find someone that will do that ;):D

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Thanks Terry for looking and replying, have fun and take care :D
