    Spalted Yellow-Poplar Bowl

    The LOML committed me to turning yet another bowl for a wedding gift. Sorry for the blurred pic and poor photo's but my nice digital camera isn't working and these pics were taken with my daughters digital camera.

    This is Spalted Yellow Poplar:
    14" across by 6" tall
    Finish is Watco Danish Oil, then 2 coats of wipe-on Poly.

    Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,

    Very nice bowl.

    What brand of wipe on poly do you use? Does that add a glossier look than just a danish oil finish?

    Very nice

    Very nice Dennis. Great wedding gift, it will never wear out, and hopefully the marriage will not either.

    Thats a very nice looking bowl. I haven't had a lot of luck turning poplar. I always get way to much tear out. Well done.
