August 20, 20214 yr Popular Post comment_269838 My sister has been wanting a large bowl to make salad in. Came across a piece of what I believe is Cherry. 23 inches of 9.75" by 3" thick. Yielded this bowl 9.50" and I got it 5.5" deep. I finished it using mineral spirits with paraffin wax melted in it. Rubbed it in while it was still hot and when it gelled up I got out the heat gun and kept melting it in to the wood. Gave it to her today with upkeep instructions. She loved it. Report

August 20, 20214 yr comment_269888 Nice job and I like that rim. I have done a few like it because it reminds me of a bowl my grandmother used to hone her kitchen knives on. It was a pottery bowl with a glaze but she had worn the glaze off the rim where she sharpened. Report
