Ash bowl

[Dalboy]

Getting ready to do a turning demo and was going to take the rough turned piece to work on so in preparation I started by returning the tenon and just take enough off to take out any wobble but found that it was tearing out something terrible so decided to complete it and find another one to take. I used cellulose sander sealer to help with the tear out, after applying and fine cuts repeated was able to get a good finish.
Wood is Ash and is 7" X 1 1/2" there is so much going on in the grain from spalting to some ripple. The finish was kept simple Chestnut Sander sealer and Woodwax22

As mentioned elsewhere, best laid plans as they say, glad you stuck with it and salvaged the natural character.

Thank you Chas.

I think pieces of wood with this much going on are worth the effort, a lesson to new turners is to take it easy and you will reap the rewards
