Latest Bowls

The walnut bowl looks impressive. What a finish! I would imagine they will raise some serious cash!

Walnut bowl is extremely beautiful. I like very much the large bowls. A 12’’ made by me is my dream. I hope not to dream too much :)
You did a great job.

Beautiful! I am also curious about the finish…

Yep the Walnut came out just amazing. I will be posting some other bowls in the next day or two, but the walnut is by far the best of the bunch. I haven’t decided if I am willing to part with it or not.

The secret of the finish is using Beall Bowl Buffs. I am still working on using them properly, especially on the larger bowls. I still can’t get an even coat of wax applied, but I have only used it on 7 bowls thus far.

I am about to post a blog that will detail how I go about finishing bowls. I am sure it will be informative. I pieced my finishing process together using several sources. I haven’t found a complete set of instructions anywhere. I probably over do it, but I am an extremely harsh critic of my own work.
