Cherry Natural Edge
I spent the day turning with George Guadiane and this is the result. This was my first try at a natural edge and I'm thrilled with it. My thinnest piece yet at about 1/8".
About 8" at its widest point - 2 3/8" tall
Cherry
Sanded thru 600 - added some olive oil when sanding at higher grits
Buffed finish

Nice job! I don't usually like feet but I like this one.

Jason...
V-e-r-y nice bowl. I like the form very much.
I just scored some cherry from a friend's camp in the Adirondack's. Some of which, I want to try turning NE bowls.
I'm curious about your blank. I gather it was already dried. Do you know how long it took to dry and was it sealed beforehand?
I was thinking of turning a few bowls right away with the wood I got yesterday. I didn't get to Anchorseal it yet, as my local supplier was out of it. Hopefully, he'll have some in by tomorrow.

Beautiful work Jason! Very nice flowing curve to the bowl! You should be proud of this one!

Don,
The experience I gained can't possibly be measured and yes, George is a wonderful teacher...and a great guy all around. We plan on doing it again once the Summer craft shows die down a bit.
And yes, I'll bring it along next meeting...George said you'd like it ;-)

That's a beauty, Jason! Really nice. I love the sapwood ring.

Nice work, Jason! That's a very nice bowl!

Philip,
I can't be sure when the wood was actually cut but it was pretty green. It had not been anchorsealed previously.
I've had some good luck turning green cherry. It's gonna move a bit but I've got pretty good consistency in thickness so I'm hoping for the best. If anything "bad" happens, I'll post pictures.
If I just got the wood and wasn't going to touch it for a while, I'd seal it up...can't go wrong with that.
Also, I wanted to have a nice bark edge but it didn't work out. It stayed on until I got down under 1/2" and then I started losing it.
