The bark is coated with Tried and True Danish Oil (pure Linseed Oil).Very nicely done!! Did you CA the bark?
Ahh...you make me blush!That is a beauty.... I'm not fond of live edge bowls myself and having said that, I have two on display in my living room that I bought a few years bacj from a turner out of one of the Carolinas.... I've tried a couple, but never been all that happy with what I wound up with. I'm more into practical bowls that can be used.
But I do admire ones turned by more talented turners than me..... beautiful!!
