    Ambrosia Maple Bowl

    Here is a ambrosia maple bowl I finished today from one of the blanks I got from Jim Ketron last month. It is 10" X 2-1/2" and is 3/8" thick, sanded to 600 grit and buffed with all 3 steps and no other finish.

    This maple sure did turn nice and there is even a little curl in the maple. Thanks for looking.

    Thanks Carol, I did use the 3 buffing compounds but no other finish like BLO or tung oil. The last buffing was wax. Thanks for the comment.

    Most excellent, Dick. That ambrosia maple is something else and you did a fine job with it. Love the curl...

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.
