Dangerous place to have a meeting

[holmqer]

Rob Doyle of Bad Dog Burls keeps plying us with BBQ. Two clubs had a meeting at his place yesterday. He just got in a huge shipment of mostly Mallee caps with a mix of other cool stuff. I grabbed a few Red Mallee caps and turned one today.

Slightly different style than my first, only the rim is natural edge this time. the "bowl" part is around 3 1/2" (9 cm) across. Finished with Bush Oil.

That would be a dangerous place for me to go. Kinda like a wood turner club meeting tomorrow where illness forces sale of someones inventory. A kid in the candy store with $5.

Nice bowl...........that is if it holds water! Nice art if it doesn't.

You did a real nice job. I have turned Brown mallee and it was very dangerous to the knuckles. Those little spikes can really catch you if you aren't careful.
What is Bush oil?

Very nice work. I really like that wood.

Thanks everyone, it hold water so I guess its a bowl! I've been turning a series of winged / natural edge stuff lately and this is the first piece to draw blood! Just a few drops from a small scratch, those little spikes are sharp!

Cindy, Bush Oil is a BLO based finish with a bunch of other stuff

It is lighter color than typical BLO so does not color shift as strongly.

The last time I was there my wallet was much lighter than when I first walked in. He have some very nice pieces of wood. Does he still have that huge piece of Amboyna?

I did not look for big stuff, I had to leave fast, I had tickets to a play. Just grabbed a few burl caps and some other small stuff.

That is a beautiful bowl, but that edge looks like it would have hurt, but that is the price for such beauty.
