Bubinga Bowl Bubinga Bowl No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

Having never worked with Bubinga I decided to give it a go and to try my hand at adding artistic elements to my turnings. This bowl is approx 7” x 4”...

Let me know what you think. I am always looking for constructive criticism…

Thanks…

I don’t do any turning… but I can say I think this is very nice. What type of finish did you use?

Chris,

As usual you did an excellent job on this bowl. Was the bubinga any different to work with?

Thanks for the post.

Scott,
The Bubinga was great to work with if a little brittle. I would watch how thin you get the material.

Gary & Junior,
I used Waterlox High gloss. I wet sanded the first two coats, then hand rubbed a third.
