Red Oak Burl

[Gary Max]

I started this Red Oak Burl bowl several months ago. Three days in a DNA bath then weeks in a pile of sawdust ---today it jumped up on the lathe and off we went.
The can of pop should give you a ideal of how big this bowl is.
It will be going to the show next week looking for a new home.
Hope you enjoy

Wow..that is a huge piece! [:0]

Hope you demand a premium on that one...the wood alone could have sold for some serious $$$.

The piece almost has a Yin and Yang in the grain pattern. Very nice piece of wood. You did a great job.

Nicely done, super wood.

 

[kent4Him]

Very nice. Was it green or dry and hard as a rock?

 

[Gary Max]

Chirs after the DNA bath and sitting in a mountain of dry sawdust----harder than woodpecker lips----I sanded it again today with 220 and another coat of Homebrew-----next will be with 400 and a light coat of a good danish oil---and buff it out.
Should end up with a nice hard finish that shines.
