Some 15 years ago I rough turned a bunch of Black Cherry bowls, that were after drying in the usual brown paper bag way, got placed on some shelves I had put up in my shop, to high to get easily at, and so when we moved to Atikokan these forgotten bowls moved with all the other bowls to the new place.
The first picture shows the bowl as it was sitting in my London shop.
Now this particular bowl really bothered me, as it had a shape that just irked me, luckily I had left the wall thick enough to be able to return it into a more acceptable shape, so returned it a couple of weeks ago and then finished it with Polymerized Tung oil from Lee Valley, it sat for about two weeks while we went for a visit to my son in Ottawa, back in Atikokan I hand-rubbed it with synthetic steelwool then polished it.
Found a new owner even before it was finished, has to be a popcorn bowl, I’m sure it can do that
Comments welcome
