Norway Maple Bowl made from a tree taken down by a neighbor. Continued my experimentation with candy colors over metallic base, in this case a Candy Emerald Green / Racing Blue fade over a fine Aluminum base on the outside with EM6000 waterborne lacquer. Inside is finished with Bush Oil. Tried out a Rick Angus style rim. Around 8" (21cm) across.

The colors look great. I am a big fan of bush oil. That is what I use on many of my larger turnings.

Very neat - I'll have to google bush oil and figure out what the heck it is!

Thanks everyone.
Andrew - Like Stan, I tend to use Bush Oil on all bare wood other than extremely pale woods like Holly and Box Elder. If I am going to use one of those types of wood, it is usually because I want to retain the white color. Bush Oil was design by William Bush and is a mix of various oils. It does not color shift as strongly as BLO, but does give a bit of an ambering effect.

Cool fade effect....airbrush?
And the inside is way shiney too....how many coats did you need to wipe on to get that?

Scott - Airbrushed the outside fpr the fade, then sprayed EM6000 with a small conversion HVLP using a 1.5mm needle. Swapped the standard 0.35mm needle/nozzle in my Iwata HP-CS airbrush for a larger 0.5mm set so that I could more easily use the metal flake base. The inside finish is 4 coats of oil per their instructions (First coat is that double application with half hour gap)
