15" Spalted Ambrosia Maple Natural Edge Bowl

This is a piece that almost met Mr. Bandsaw. It was a rough first turn that was...well - pretty rough. But with some patience and very careful negative rake scraper work....I got it in shape enough to start sanding.

Thyou Robert. It is a post on my deck- and convenient to natural light. I am tired of the “white box” photos that seem to predominate.

No the bark is well adhered. This piece is completely dry- and before I started the finish turn and sanding, I dribble thin CA all along the line where the bark meets the wood to help insure it stays in place.

Thank you! Finish is Tried and True Original. Sanded to 1000 then applid one coat, allowed to stand for 1 hour - then wiped off excess. Buffed by hand once dried overnite

Nice bowl. Love the shape. Never used Tried and True on my turnings. Is that a tung oil? I mostly use Mahoney's walnut oil.

Thanks! Yep- it requires NOT pushing into the wood to keep the bark on
