This piece of cherry measures 4.5” tall by 6” wide and has a wipe-on poly finish. Cherry is such a pleasure to work with. It turns well, smells good, and takes a nice finish.

It has a very nice shape. How thick are the walls?

The walls are about 1/4” thick, a little less on the bottom. I was fortunate not to blow through the bottom.

Trifern,

This is beautiful. I have developed a real appreciation for these type of posts. This bowl has a nice grain pattern to it and you finished it well.

Thanks for the post.

Another thing about Cherry. When you do as good a job as you have done, Trifern; it looks beautiful too.

Really gorgeous, what kind of lathe you running? That thing must be pretty good size, to handle that size bowl. Really a beautiful finish too, for just poly you must have sanded the sh__ out of it. Nice piece. mike

I just bought a lathe a few months ago and haven’t really tried it out but once on a practice piece of wood just to see how it handles. Can’t wait to give it a try on something like what you’ve done. Only hope I can come close to what you have done. great job.

Thanks for all the nice comments and feedback. I have been brief in my discriptions because I am new to all this. I have only been turning for about 6 weeks. Based on some of the questions, I guess it is time to write a blog about my equipment, tools, techniques and finishes. I am mostly self taught so I don’t Know if I use the proper techniques or not but they , for the most part, have worked for me. Stay tuned.
