This piece was from a beautiful maple round I’d picked up in BC. It was initially mounted using a screw chuck while I turned and sanded the outside of the bowl. I then reverse-mounted it using the expansion mode of my chuck and turned and sanded the inside. I flooded both sides with CA glue to stabilize the punky areas. The piece was sanded to 2000 grit and I applied 3 coats of Tung oil. After finishing the bottom with the piece held in some homemade jumbo jaws, I buffed the whole thing with the Beall System.
