    Cherry Burl Bowl

    This is the latest turning project just completed.
    It a chunk of one of the cherry burls a friend gave me a couple of years ago. The diameter is about 9 inches. The finish is Watco Lacquer sprayed with an HVLP. I filled the crack with epoxy and sanding dust from the turning. The Bottom was left kinda thick because of the soft bark.

    Beautiful piece Garry. I had a cherry one with a crack and I did the same thing. Epoxy and sanding dust. Worked great. That is a great job.
