This was a fairly ordinary piece of CL with not much heart wood. So a couple of coats of DO later it has darkened up nicely and makes a fairly respectable looking bowl. Size 10 x 6 with a 4" opening

Fairly respectable indeed. :thumb: Beautifully done, Neil.

I've turned a few large pieces of that wood myself...always liked the way it makes the shop smell.
 
The more you do the more you appreciate just how darn hard it is to do some of this stuff you guys make sound so easy. This one sure came out nice. Beautiful piece of wood and treatment to match.
