Thought I posted this, but can't find it so here goes.
Another in my kitless bottle stopper attempts. This still needs a cork. Red Bed, finished with a lot of CA, we sanded with 400, then sanded up to 12k with micro mesh then three wheel buffed.
This is the second in a series of bowl I'm trying using a 7/4 plank of Cherry that's been drying in a buddies stack for 15 years. The insert is Spalted Holly and finished with Deft Satin Brushing Lacquer. i chose it because it doesn't darken the wood. I'm not at all happy with the accent band, but have a few ideas for the next version. Also, the inside curve of the Holly doesn't match the outside curve of the Cherry so need to sort that out in the next run. The Cherry is finish with multiple coats of Formby's Tung Oil and all are three wheel buffed.
Here is the bottom. I finished it using my homemade vacuum chuck I described in an earlier thread.
Thanks for looking. Comment and criticism appreciated.
