My latest little bowl, I left it as a fairly simple shape to let the grain do the talking. I could really get to like this stuff.
(If it wasn't for that lovely grain, this bowl wouldn't be worth showing.)
Southern Silky Oak, 175mm diameter, 50mm tall, 7mm walls.
(I just re-measured - the walls are 6mm, not 7mm.)
Sealed & grain-filled with shellac/talc, then finished with half a dozen coats of oil-based satin WOP.
As you can see, I still have to reverse it onto the vacuum chuck and remove my balsa 'handle' and the tenon, but I'll wait until I have a couple of other bowls waiting before setting up the vac chuck system. (I don't leave it on all the time, because when the vacuum handwheel adaptor is fitted I can't get my knock-out bar in to remove the spur drive etc.)
The third pic is a bit crappy - I couldn't avoid the glare.
All comments and/or suggestions welcome.
