I won a blank at my local club (in Utah) but nobody knew what type of wood it is. No bark was on it and it turned fairly easily. I’ve never turned anything that looks like this, any ideas?
Also, I turned it green and have sanded it to 400 but now I’m wondering how to finish it. I have only turned a dozen or so bowls and have always used Watco Danish oil but I don’t want to darken/yellow this one. Was wondering if I could do sanding sealer (Deft) + Deft spray lacquer, or even lacquer alone? Any recommendations?
It is 10.5” x 3”. Comments/critiques would be appreciated (I feel the foot is a little too small for the size of bowl but it sits stable).
Thanks
Tom
