These have been sitting my shop for over a year and I finally found time to finish.
Turned from leftovers from a neighbors live oak blowdown.
Initially turned Green then left to dry in paper bags.
Bowl 1 Shallow bowl I use for holding my keys finished in CA (a lot of CA, this was an expensive finish I will not do on bowls again, but the grain was getting squirelly and I used some CA to stabilize. Once I had it on there the color changed a bit so I decided to finish it with CA)
Bowl 2 I'll use in the shop as a spare parts bowls finish is spray on Poly
Bowls 3 and 4 have a bit of natural edging and occlusions from knots
Bowl 3 is finished in spray on poly this will be used as a candy dish at work.
Bowl 4 was cleaned off with mineral spirits allowed to dry overnight and waxed. Just a decoration for the mantle.
Bowls 1 and 2 a bit closer
Bowl 2 is a rescue of sorts. I had a fly off with it and it broke in half. Fortunately the break was clean on the grain and I was able to save it with some wood glue.
Bowls 3 and 4 a bit closer.
Bowl 4 was supposed to be taller with more natural edging but it kept chipping away during final turning.
