I have a few pieces left that might work for shallow desk pocket bowls and one roughed/dried medium/shallow bowl blank.

May 12, 20242 yr Author Popular Post Finished this hollow form a couple days ago. Did maybe 5 layers of shellac and just not quite satisfied since the pores pop on walnut with a film finish. Just got tired of doing any more so here it is. Black walnut with spalted pecan collar and unknown exotic finial (yes that is what was on the label when purchased). Have a new photo setup but just couldn’t get the two bright spots out. Showing more than one view to show some possibilities with these lights.
May 12, 20242 yr Popular Post It looks fantastic Gerald. Shellac never seems to lay completely flat for me. I usually go with wipe on poly.
May 12, 20242 yr That's beautiful, @Gerald! I really like the combination of species and the design of the finial.

May 18, 20242 yr Popular Post I had the chance to flick on the lathe today so I grabbed me a block of cedar and proceeded the engulf my shop with that wonderful aromatherapy.
