It's good to see such fine work given to promote such a needed cause.

I probably have some more

Surprisingly dark for sycamore. What's the finish?

George Guadiane

Thank you for the complement and for what might seem like a great offer, but I don't have enough space for the wood that I have. I'll make a couple of other bowls for the cause, but I've got plenty of material.

I also do stuff for The Free Wheelchair Mission. They have a gathering once a year with some kind of auction and I have heard that a couple of my turnings did pretty well there.

Again, thank you for the compliment and the wood.

The finish is mineral oil and microcrystalline wax. The color did darken a bit.

You really nailed the orientation of that blank! ...GG

George Guadiane

Actually, Steve Worcester gets credit for the blank... He's the one who cut it. The most credit I can take is to say I decided which side should be up.

George, long time no see, Florida appears to agree with you. You did justice to that nice Sycamore bowl blank, don't see that species here in the Adirondacks.

Take care my friend,

Mike

Hey Mike,

YES, Florida has been excellent for me/us...

I found plenty of sycamore in Columbia County. Look near rivers and streams. They don't come down on their own very often. Check with a logger or two.

Beautiful bowl George-but I wouldn't expect anything less from you.

Re: Steve Worcester Sycamore "Empty Bowls" Bowl.

George Guadiane

Thank You Don!

I do think that the wood did most of the work on this one... I give a lot of the credit to Steve on that part.
