    Second Finished Bowl

    Well I got a piece of Honduran Mahogany in Saturday and it was like a dollar bill burning a hole in my pocket. Couldn't wait to try it. So today I put it on lathe. It was 8 1/4" square and 2 3/8" thick. Anyway it is dry and so could turn it to size. Mahogany turns like a dream and sands well. I had a mistake on it but didn't see it until the finish was on. I will learn to look it over a little closer next time. Getting easier after each one. Used the Sorby Hollowing/Shear Scraper to do the sides inside. Worked out well.

    Forgot to say I sanded to 800 grit, used EEE-Ultra Shine and then Mylands friction polish.

    What do you think?

    Wow! That is a great bowl. Nice job with the finish. I want to make one like that to replace the GLASS (gasp!) bowl I keep my walnuts in now. Keep up the good work.
