Walnut Bowl

[Dalboy]

Had a rummage through my wood blanks and thought I would rough turn one of the Walnut ones. Turned the outside and did a moisture test and it was down to 12% so the log had been laying around longer than I thought, so I decided to turn to completion.
So here it is, size is 9" X 2"

Sort of grabbed it by the Jugular and made a Royal good piece out of that (assuming it's English W. that is).

Nice to see the rim detail maintained and not sanded out.

 

[Dalboy]

Thank you both.

Yes this is home grown wood that is mainly what. Yes I agree as most people tend to get a bit over zealous with sanding to get a good finish and sand any detail away or round over what should be a sharp junction in the detail

Sorry Derek, I just say it as I see it - plus I'd run out of my allotted adjectives that day!

Great piece, like the solid look of it due to it not being fully hollowed out.

What do you use as a finish?

Thank you. On this one I used cellulose sander sealer and then my buffing system
