Here's my latest artistic bowl inspired by Cindy Drozda and others here at our local Turn-Fest 2009. It is made from Budgeroo (Lysicarpus angustifolius) and slightly spalted Bonewood (Acradenia euodiiformis). The inlay rim is made from segmenting smaller pieces together as I don't have much. The bonewood legs also presented problems from small borers , so I just left the holes as is and although I'm not happy, at least it does look natural. The faults and large borer holes in the Budgeroo are filled with sawdust and CA.
The leg joiner pins are from 2mm stainless steel nails cut down. It was all sanded to 1200 and finished with Shellawax then Shellawax Glow. I ended up also buffing the outside with Hut wax on my Swansdown mop to bring back a few dull spots that developed during handling.
Cheers
