Maple burl natural edge bowl
Mike Schwing from Md.
>About 10" in diameter, natural edged. Finished with about 10 coats of tung oil, then buffed on wheels. Bottom is totally rounded but it stands upright somehow.
Kind of scary buffing the interior with all of those grabby points, but the wheel just barely fit inside. Tried my goblet buffs but they just don't perform as well.
Comments welcomed. Thanks for looking.

>Thanks John. No, I have no coring device, and with 1/4 ton of this burl, can't say I mind wasting a few pounds.

>That's my favorite!!! I have been busy turning a bunch of these. I just love the potluck you get when you turn those critters!!
I am in the process of doing a good sized burl with the Kelton corer and can't wait to post the results...I have about 4 or 5 bowls coming out of the blank and they all look similar to this one.
Yummy and great job as usual, Mikey!!
