Maple Burl Bowl with Turquoise Inlace

Project by Indiana_Parrothead posted 25 days ago 350 views 0 times favorited 10 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Here is another one of my turning projects. It is a Maple Burl Bowl with Turquoise Inlace used to fill in some of the voids. It is about 9 1/2” in diameter and about 2” tall. It was sanded to 2000 grit. The finish is Myland friction polish and the I used a Beall Buffing System using Tripoli, White Diamond and then finally Carnauba Wax.

It turned out pretty good, I have yet to sign it on the bottom. I use a wood burner with a small tip to do the signing. Thanks for looking.

Great bowl Mike, really turned out nice. You happy with the inlace? Haven’t used it yet, just glitter and thin CA. How did the maple burl turn?

I like the Inlace, I use it quit a bit. It turns good and if used on flat surface it sands easy. As for the maple burl turning, it was dry and hard. There were no big curls coming off when I turned it. A lot of chips and dust. But it is pretty strong, it might be hard to tell but the wall thinckness is between 1/8” and 3/16” so I got it pretty thin. The bottom was not bad but when I got to the side walls it was a little scary, it made some pretty strange sounds when I was turning.

Great bowl…....like your inlays. Even here in the ‘Land of Turquoise’ (new mexico), I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bowl inlaid with turquoise.

Great bowl. The burl is nice and the inlace gives it that little extra to make it stand out.

Great design. Great turning.

Keep it up.
