I really have been turning lately, just been too lazy to set up the photo rig. This is a nested set of mesquite bowls I made for my nephew and his new bride, who are getting married next weekend. I forgot to get measurements before I shipped it out today, but the big bowl is about 12" wide and maybe 8" deep. The rims were burned with a propane torch before the inside and outside were finish sanded. They're all finished with a couple of coats of BLO followed by a lot of coats of semi-gloss spraycan lacquer, wet sanded with 600 grit, buffed with PL compound, then waxed with Renaissance wax. I let the BLO cure for about a month before spraying the lacquer. This is my first successful 3-bowl set from the McNaughton.
