Just trying something a little different for me. Had a large slab of cherry laying around that was begging for a good spinning.
This is 12 1/2 inches in diameter and 2 1/2 inches high....finished with WOP satin

You did a great job on a beautiful piece of wood. The texturing really tops it off. Thanks for sharing.
Top shelf John, especially the texturing.
Remember, in a moments time, everything can change!
Vision - not just seeing what is, but seeing what can be!
Really nice!
John, how do you do texturing like that? Manually with a knife of some sort?

Thanks guys...it was pretty fun and the wood behaved nicely for the most part.
Fred....a couple weeks ago I ran over to Hartville Hardware to look for toys. Found a nice Sorby Texturing tool and finally got a chance to try it out today.
I'm not very good at it yet but I'll keep at it

I thought you were a lacquer guy, all the way!!
That's very true Mikey. Lacquer is the nectar of life. I'm especially fond of Watco lacquer. Smells a little better and doesn't say so easily.
But this piece was begging to be satin poly. It's a rebel

Thanks Thomas
I did the texturing before I cut the thickness of the rim. Gave me plenty of solid ground and I could start over if I screwed up.
But I intentionally made this piece on the thick side. Dunno...was just in the mood for a coffee table bowl with some heft to it
