Turned from Curly Red Wood. This bowl has around 8 coats of spray deft lacquer satin right now. I will post some more pictures after it has had time to set and be buffed to a shine. The curl in this wood is unreal and it didn't move any as it dried. I did learn that redwood should not be turned extremely thin. I have a tiny crack on one side of the opening that happened when sanding just on the inside lip of the bowl. If it had been left around 3/16" it wouldn't have happened. I'm thinking of turning a collar to help reinforce the opening. The bowl is right at 11" in dia by 5" high.
Thanks,
