Here are the type of shaving that came off this posted maple bowl. For all the figure it was very easy to cut and sand. Same oil and lacquer finish. I have 3 larger pieces to turn. Measures 10" across and about 4 1/2" deep.

Very nice bowl for sure. What is the cloudy on the finish--confused here. I like the shop even better.

The finish is quite glossy and even with lights pointed out of the tent there was quite a bit of reflection. The rest is some pretty curls in the wood.Originally Posted by robert baccus

Bob, I don't think bowl turning can get much better than that!

Very nicely done. You did a great job of showing off all of the beautiful figure and grain.

That's a stunning bowl Bob, I hope the rest of the pieces are as good. Are you coring them?

I cored a lot of the smaller ones from these. The biggest is about 19" with some really nice figure. Haven't turned it yet, but will soon.

I bet you were smiling every time you stopped the lathe to look at it, and I bet you couldn't help but run your hands over it at the same time. Wait, that would have been me.
What a beautiful bowl.

Okay, maybe I am the only one who noticed this, but in the last picture, it looks like the tailstock is floating, or is that an illusion. Nice bowl, I do like maple a lot. We mostly get the Big Leaf type out here. The good stuff smells kind of like bread yeast when cutting. If it is starting to rot, it smells pretty sour.

Holy mackerel that's gorgeous! Love the figure. From the shavings it looks like you were having a pretty good time too. I had to check out the dangling tail stock too.
