Tahitian Sunrise

You saw this last December 17th when it was just glued up walnut and maple but now it is finished and has been for some time.

This bowl has what I call a Centrifugal Metallic Celestial Finish consisting of multiple tones of gold.

Then it received 20 coats of gloss polyurethane and each coat was sanded to 12,000 grit.

It was then burnished with Howard's Burnishing Cream and polished with Old English.

This bowl is available for purchase on the Brown County Shops website.

New Bowl

Yes, I know. Been awhile.
Here is the current project.




The blank as you see it in the pictures is 8-3/4" in diameter and 3-1/2" tall.
It is walnut and maple woods.




So far I have cut the wood to length, sanded it, glued it and clamped it, cut it round on the band saw and sanded it on the stationary belt sander.

Today I will glue a sacrificial wood faceplate on it and hopefully tomorrow I will mount it to the lathe and start maing sawdust.

Will post more pictures as it progresses.
