    Maple Bowl

    Well did get some turning done besides bottle stoppers and birdhouses although I can't complain with the money they brought in. Here is a spalted maple bowl that I turned from a chuck of wood I won in a drawing here on SMC from Keith Outten. It looked like it was starting to spalt so I put some really wet chips in a brown grocery sack along with the blank. I kept changing the chips as they dried out. Well finally I pulled it out and decided to give it a go and here is what turned out. It was finished with one coat Seal-A-Cell and 3 coats of Arm-R-Seal then buffed. It is 9 1/2" X 3 3/4". I really liked how it turned out.

    Bernie:
    That is beautiful! I love the wood, the finish and the workmanship. I've got to try the SAC and ARS. Great job!
    All the best.

    Really nice Bernie, that one really shines. Like the rim treatment. Did the finish darken the maple, or was it already somewhat dark?

    Thanks for the kind comments. This bowl was a lot of fun and hope Keith will see it. He is the one who donated it for the drawing. I hope I did it justice.

    Hey Dennis old buddy are you still turning or just thinking about it?
