Here is an Osage bowl that I finished today. It had developed a few dozen cracks on the outside while drying from the DNA soak, but I was lucky and was able to clean them all up.
Beall buff finished and is 7-1/4" x 3-3/4"
Thanks for looking.

I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......
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.

Dick, great job! Man I love that Osage. Feels good to hold an Osage
bowl in your hands, it finishes so smooth.

Nice bowl, Dick. Looks like you had just enough wood to finish it.

Looks really nice, Dick. Osage orange is a hoot to turn, especially the first few times...that bright yellow "stuff" coming off the tools is just unreal! It will also polish up wonderfully without any finish if you want to take it up through the grits to 600, 1200 or beyond.

Dick, that is a wonderful bowl. Osage orange has wonderful grain and you brought it out in this one. Great finish as well.
