    Osage Orange Bowl

    I have not been posting In a while as Im trying to get some items ready for the show comming up in Oct. I will be posting a few of the ones I have ready to add to what I have already finished.
    It had some small hairline cracks on the outside after drying, but they turned away during the finishing of the bowl
    This was by far the easiest sanding species that I have ever done, it took about 30 Min tops to finish this one baby butt smooth, with no sanding scratches to boot
    This was my first time turning Osage and using the wire burning method it turned out ok, I think I will try it more of the burning in the future.
    I dont think I could have centerd it up any closer im pleased with this part , even on both sides of the bowl.
    It measures 7" X 2 7/8" Finish is deft and hand waxed.

          Nice work. That simple shape looks great with that grain and burn rings.
