A 'Dunno' bowl ..............

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

I started out using Poly/oil from General Finish as a friction finish. It's not really to be used that way and it didn't hold up. I've changed to French Polish, which is working well, and am looking at Gel Varnish for a harder finish without the "Plasticy" feel of Poly.

Thanks everyone!

John........
The bowl is naked under the poly. I put it on with a white (Scotch pad?) and rub it in good before wiping it off.

Hey Joe,

I think me and Dennis decided that was a piece of Pecan he brought from Bammy. I found this pic of the roughout:

I dunno what kind of wood that is either but the bowl sure turned out nice. The picture above would indicate that a feller with a rather large turning muscle was involved in the turning or was he just there to hold down the lathe? I know how them Arkansans are about leaning on things...
