Roughed (to finished) bowl

[Jonkou]

This is #2 of 3 from a for sale post about a month ago, they’re better than I thought and now glad they neva sell. Roughed out today and will finish next time. Looks like will be turning traditional bowls for awhile.

Looks awfully nice as a bowl. I am fairly sure it would sell now...

Gonna be a beautiful bowl! Looks like you have a lot of nice ones waiting to be revealed sitting on that shelf.

Yeah, you could have had it for $40 delivered, it’ll cost you $240 plus shipping when it’s done.

I must have missed the “for sale” post

Then again, I wouldn’t have done it the same justice you have John!

Got it hollowed this afternoon. Will sand and complete the foot next time, she’s lookin good. 8 more to go from the same log.

Yeah, I think it’s fair to say we all missed the boat on this one! That’s going to pop!!!

That's gonna be a sweet one! It didn't sell cause it wasn't supposed to.

Grand daughter went home today so had time to sand, turn a simple foot and get it off the lathe. Will start the finishing process tomorrow.

First of 3 or 4 coats of oil, will let it dry a few days before applying the next.

Second coat pau, lookin good for three. Hellish outside today, trying to get the smell out but keep the ac in with the fan.

I always put my oiled work out in the sun to cure. Never heard of Bush oil though, I'm guessing there's a solvent of some kind in it?
Bowl looks fanastic.

Yeah there’s a solvent and it has a high solid content, the can is heavy, builds quick with deep penetration and food safe when dry. Like this one.
