    Latest Bowl

    Here is a piece of Cottonwood I hope that you like it. It is finished with three coats of toung oil and then Beal Buffed with all three compounds. Critique welcome.

    !

    Nice turning, Ron, and Wow!, that's as far removed from any cottonwood I've ever used as I can imagine. I've only used it a little bit, but I've never seen any with any figure at all, let alone figure that exciting.
