Project Information

I cored this blank almost 12 months ago and have finished the two inner bowls since then, and got this one finished yesterday afternoon. I am a bit disappointed because the sealer I used darkened the wood slightly and made some of the natural features/colors less obvious.

The bowl is 11in x 4in and finished with three coats of ***************. Lightly sanded between coats.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking.

Nice bowl Bob, you sure got a great finish on it, you still got some nice grain showing.

Plain bowls are ok but when they have a knot it gives them character. The knot also makes some interesting grain.
Great looking bowl Bob.

The grain looks very good to me Bob, very nice bowl considering that it came from Poplar, Most of the Poplar that I have used is rather plain, You might get some purple, and green at times, but not nice grain like this one. You sure got that lathe humming lately. Keep up the good work.

The bowl turned out great. The sealer didn't take away too much.

It looks wonderful. Has beautiful grains and the finish made them pop. The knot added a great accent. Great work!
