Default Spalted Maple Bowl
Report Post Report This Post!

Well did get some turning done besides bottle stoppers and birdhouses although I can't complain with the money they brought in. Here is a spalted maple bowl that I turned from a chuck of wood. It looked like it was starting to spalt so I put some really wet chips in a brown grocery sack along with the blank. I kept changing the chips as they dried out. Well finally I pulled it out and decided to give it a go and here is what turned out. It was finished with one coat Seal-A-Cell and 3 coats of Arm-R-Seal then buffed. It is 9 1/2" X 3 3/4". I really liked how it turned out.

A bad day of turning is still better than a good day at the office.
