I finally got round to it, I had this little Camphor Laurel bowl core and got bored of the technically interesting turning jobs I have been doing of late. Time for a simple bowl. 300mm (12") x 60mm (2 3/8")
I've been using Aussie Oil since September last year on pens and decided to test it on a bowl. The bowl is sanded to 600#, then EEE at 1000rpm. 4 coats of Aussie oil. Use less Aussie Oil progressively, ie enough to cover a 50 cent piece for the first coat, then less each coat.
I have left the spigot, as I am yet to decide if it needs the extra height.
