Catalpa bowl

[mr]

Catalpa from my local sawyer. 6 1/2" diameter x 3 1/4" high. Finished with Danish oil and Deft spray lacquer. Planning to donate it to an auction to raise money for my nephew's preschool. Unfortunately the rim got chipped in a couple spots when it accidentally fell during finishing.









Thanks for looking!

The way you used it made it better!

Great job!

Great looking bowl. I really like Catalpa and you did a fine job with it. There's even a bit of curl to the wood which I've noticed before in Catalpa.

Thanks for showing.

Very nice MR. I especially like the knot in the bottom of the bowl and the little touch of natural edge on two sides of the rim. Picture number 3 is a very nice presentation of the grain lines in the bowl.

Very nice Mike. The simple shape allows the grain to stand out and be noticed.

Thanks for sharing,

Thanks guys.

Like I said, I got this piece from my local (~ 30 min away) sawyer. I've only been to his place once, but I'll definitely be going back once I've used up everything I bought last time. I bought 5 or 6 pieces - a couple nicely spalted - from him, and he threw one in for free (I think the catapla actually might have been the free one). He and his wife were both super nice.
