    Little Cherry Bowl

    Simple little 6.5" X 3" cherry bowl. I was just fooling around and made a cut out in the blank and once the bowl was turned I filled it with epoxy and coffee grinds. I've never used coffee grinds and epoxy to fill voids so I figured I would make a controlled void to practice with. I think it turned out alright

    Sanded to 12000 micro mesh and then finished with 4 coats of shellac.

    Comments are always welcome.

    It definitely turned out alright, and the cherry goes nicely with the coffee grounds.

    Great job with the bowl and just as good with the photography!!
    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.
