I roughed this out before I started the shop project. It was very dry and I was wanting a challenge. It was a BIG challenge. For the first time while hollowing I felt the NEED for a full face shield, and some body armor. I ended up a little thinner than I like but I had tool marks to get out. It is Cherry burl and sanded to 600 grit. I finished it with wood turners finish and buffed with EEE. I need to hand sand a couple spots inside and then was thinking of some walnut oil for the inside finish. Any thoughts on that?. Thanks for the help. As always comments are welcome, good or bad.
