I don't often get around to posting much, but here is a nice bowl I entered in the local Show competition. This is a stunning piece of wood and the photo does not really do it justice.
It was a Pink Trumpet Tree, Tabebuia impetiginosa.

Great work. Reminds me of walnut.

Very nice Richard! Interesting tone mix in the wood. Not only is the timber beautiful but you have a pretty sweet finish on it. Congrats on your award!

The photo doesn't do the bowl justice. It is a stunning piece of wood, but you balanced the grain nicely. Your skill did justice to the wood and showed it off to it's best advantage. Well done.

Hi Tony,Originally Posted by Tony French
6 coats of 90% gloss Wattyl Stylwood, a premium pre-catalysed lacquer, rubbed with 0000 steel wool between coats and then finished with Mothers California Gold carnubra wax buffed with a lambswool mop. The Wattyl product is Aussie, but there will be equivalent's around the world.
Hope that helps,
Rgds,
Richard.
