Idl, I amy have to give this idea a try. I have a number of pieces with bark on about that size. Since I have the same lathe as you I should be able to gt through something.

Thanks for the comments.

Grump it is 6”w x 3”h

Good Idea Kay. Takes a lady to bring out the decorating possibilities.

Chris, You really need to turn them wet if possible unless you have wood softer than hickory. I had a carbide cutter and it was still tough to turn. Good luck and glad this gave you some ideas.

Looks fantastic. Did you seal it? If so, with what?

I haven’t sealed it yet just letting it acclimate inside for a while since it was already relatively dry to start with. I usually wait a few weeks before finishing so it will be dry enough. I have used the microwave on some bowls and put some in sawdust for a few months. I usually use the salad bowl sealant for those that may come in contact with food.
