A friend gave me some oak. I couldn't get any of the main trunk, it was 52" dia and my chainsaw would not cut through it... matter of fact I went through two saws trying to get what I did get. This was a little burl I took off the main trunk.. it's spalting some and full of inclusions and holes.
The bowl is still rough. And I Need to go back and take out some tool marks on the bottom and do some more sanding, but I'm leaving it thick and heavy on the bottom because it's trying to crumble a little.
Need your recommendations as how to finish the wood. I'm thinking a spray lacquer, but would have to be rattle cans, I don't have a compressor or spray system. Take a look and let me know how you would finish it. Thanks all.
