Danish Oil Finish

Hot off the lathe from last night. I was particularly pleased with the light and dark contrasts in the wood. I have two more slightly larger blanks of this that I can't wait to get into.

>Nice! Looks like the apple I posted a bit farther down. Very high contrast between heart and sapwood. Did it smell like peaches when it was wet? The apple smells just like fresh apples.

>Like most fruit wood, it smelled great while it was turning. I've never turned any apple but I love the smell of cherry turning.

Those are some nice looking apple bowls too. I hope to get my collection of peach turned like that.

>Raymond,

I just love the light and dark contrasts of that wood! And I also like the nice shape you got on the bowl! They complement each other!

>I really like the color contrast. I had some Hawthorn that had the same colors and it turned into a beautiful pen. Very nice job!!

>Ooooooo...lovely looking piece. That wood looks fabulous! It appears like it must cut like butter. How does it smell? It really looks yummy!

Thanks for posting...
