If you would like to see the blog that details this project go here http://lumberjocks.com/jeffthewoodwacker/blog/8539. This is from a piece of honey locust that was cut in January of this year. The ends of the logs were sealed with paraffin and stored outside until I was ready to turn. I used a 50/50 lacquer/BLO finish followed by a couple of coats of Waterlox. Sanded between each finish coat with 800 grit sandpaper. I was able to keep the bark on the entire edge of the vessel and you can still see moss on the bark.

Looks great! Is that little sliver of bark just 1/4” thick? Is the piece starting to check or what are the marks in the bowl?
