I finished up a sweet gum bowl today from a batch of roughouts I cored/turned last year. This one is about 11" across and 4 1/2" tall. I should've slowed down the drying on this batch of bowls as I got cracks in a number of them. Not to worry, I've got Dane Fuller's handy dandy bowtie patch system... This bowl got a total of 7 white oak bowties. Some of you may remember me looking for thin stuff a while back... I sent all that stuff to Dane so he could do his laser magic on them. The patches are 3/4" long, but he's set up to do other sizes.
It's got a single coat of polyurethane at this point. Why poly, you ask... Because I had already poured some in a cup for another project.:i_dunno:
