A while back, someone posted a number of bowls with paper and/or metal leaf on the surface, but I can't seem to find the post to give appropriate credit.

I was working on a bowl for what turned out to be a fairly plain piece of maple so I thought I'd "borrow" the idea to dress it up. The bowl is approximately 7 1/2 by 2 1/4

Your thoughts are welcome.

Shawn, Bob: Thanks for the feedback and the information, but I still can't find the orignial post. :confused:

Stan: Thanks for your feedback

Scott: I turned the bowl, inside and out, and used a spray-on glue to attach a heavyweight paper. I then trimmed the excess paper with a razor knife and applied a finish (3 coats)over the paper. Finally, I cleaned up the edges on the lathe, and applied another couple of coats of finish. I think I could do it a bit more efficiently if I were to do another.

I can confirm the original post was George Watkins. However, you won't be able to find it as it was removed per his request. Any more info would have to come from him.
