....at least for me!
This is a 13 3/4" X 3 3/4" bowl. I posted a picture of this when I found a "leaf" imprinted in the wood. You can see it at about 2:00 o'clock on the first picture.
The wood was a gift from Dieseldoc that he had rough turned some time ago. Great friend; great mentor!
The finish is 3 coats of Sanding Sealer; multiple coats of Tung Oil; 3 coats of paste wax.
An interesting challenge, as I had to buy a set of large Cole Jaws to hold the bowl while I turned the tenon off, and while I finished the bottom, and a tool rest that would reach inside this bowl. I also found that the grain on Redwood is "interesting" in that it goes every which way and there is a big difference between the hard and soft parts of the grain.
Sorry for the quality of the pictures; I took them with my iPhone.
Your comments are most welcome. Now i just have to figure out what to put in the bowl....it looks kind of naked just sitting there.
