>Hi Steve,

That's awesome. I love that walnut burl. Very nice stuff. How did you get the padauk to keep from bleeding into the maple? I would have thought the orange dust would have mixed into the maple when sanding?

Very nice finish as well. I'm really struck by that walnut burl, that is some awesome stuff.

Thanks for the pic!

Mike

Adding walnut burl to my "must turn" list in Apex, NC!!!

>I sanded the bowl through to 600 grit and then used a cotton rage to polish and get any loose dust from the pores as well as using the air compressor to air blast the dust out.

The lacquer was applied by hand using a circular motion to reduce the bleeding affect to the maple. This time it actually worked fairly well, though it does not always.

Thanks for the comments.
