burr bowl

[hughie]

small burr bowl 6x2.5 finished with DO. Hard Eucalyptus burr, fairly dense and takes a shine well, very dusty when dry.

Beautiful character in that wood and like the previous hollow globe the proportions of the piece let the wood do the talking.
I have a block of Eucalyptus burr on the bench at the moment wondering whether to risk spinning it up, I've had it at least 3 years but when I checked it a couple of days ago it was still at 20% + moisture content on the bits my probes can reach.

I really like the bits of Eucalyptus I've turned, and yours is even nicer [wood] and much nicer [turning]. A keeper!

On a previous piece I had two coats of DO then three or four coats of ***. Just make sure your DO is completely dry and hard. Other wise the *** will take forever to dry guess how I found out
I like the DO because one or two coats leaves a very natural finish as if theres nothing applied to it.
