Lovely piece of maple . Running out of room in terms of bottom thickness , or of room to store your finished pieces ?

Take a class on bowl turning. You will be upset you have not done it sooner!

Gorgeous wood blanks you have. I wish I could get the results you do with your polish.
Very nice piece of art.
I'm a bit jealous as what i mostly have is Elm, Ash and Hickory. Very little figure in those species.

Bottom thickness.

You should! It is not as hard as people may think.

I don't think it is really that difficult. Sanding can be the pain. I go up to 1200 grit. But once you get past 220... it goes pretty quick. This its just a matter of wiping on and heating it up.
All of those can be pretty. I think that most the Hickory I've got now, I will do the Irredesent painted rim.

#1 rule of turning bowls - Don't make the inside bigger than the outside.
OP- gorgeous bowl!
