and I'm not sure I even fit in the class of some of you guys, but here are a few bowls I did recently, took them to a show in Blue Ridge to get rid of them...
This was from a chunk of Box Elder a friend gave me... the bowl is 11" dia x 4 3/4" high and finished with a gloss polyurethane...must have had 50 people pick it up at the show before one lady wouldn't let go of it...
This is from a piece of Southern Magnolia that I picked up last year and let it lay out side the shop on the ground until earlier this month... This one is 10 1/2" dia by 5 1/2" high...finished in polyurethane... also sold at Blue Ridge.
Spalted Hackberry in a modified calabash style... 7 1/2" dia x 2 1/2" high... again finished in polyurethane. This one also sold, but think it went at the Farmer's Market it do downtown Knoxville.
I've used polyurethane on most of my bowls, but recently saw a video by a local turner that was touting Doctor's Woodwork as a finish... after watching his video and then going over to the website for the Doctor, I'm thinking about switching... it looks easier to apply and I liked the finish in the videos.... anyone here work with the Doctor's Wood work finishes??
