......... I know, looks good in the pics, but this wood was so hard, it made the Keyaki seem soft, dunno why I've done a few other blanks from the same pile, but this piece was stupid hard, I could not even sand the darn thing, the #80 gouge bounced off the surface. I was sanding slow, low gear on the drill, and only 150 rpm on the lathe, no go, speed things up, and the surface would glaze over so hard. I ended up using a #60 flap sander wheel on the 4" angle grinder
Oh well, I finished it with straight mineral oil, my wife will use it for a salad bowl
About 13" in diameter, and 5" deep........
Lots of pics, trying different lighting and camera settings....
On a better note, what do you think of my pics, any better?
