Default Walnut Bowl
Report Post Report This Post!

Here is a walnut bowl that I also did last week. Same process as the other bowls I do. Rough to 3/4" thick, DNA, dry and finish turn. This also has General Finishes Seal-A-Cell and Arm-R-Seal plus Beall buffed with carnuba wax. It is 71/2" across and 3" high. Sanded to 600 grit. General Finishes is a excellent finish and is food safe if they want to use the bowl for food.

Sorry Bernie. I like the Mulberry better. But the Walnut is beautiful too.

A top job as usual Bernie! Did you get that finish straight off the tools?

Pretty close I start sanding most times at 240 or 320 then 400 then 600. I practice what Bill Grumbine taught me, the vertical shear scrape with a 5/8" or 1/2" bowl gouge. The wood comes off like super fine Angel hair and leaves the surface as smooth as a baby's bottom. Inside the bowl I use a Hunters Tool. It leaves a extremely smooth surface and really doesn't need sanding but I touch it up anyway.


Thanks for all the kind comments. These two bowls were a lot of fun.
