Hi All
Have been on annual leave this week however SWMBO has been cracking the whip on the rennos. I did manage to squeeze in a little shed time today and managed to finish off a few projects that have been sitting partially completed. One was a bowl in camphor laurel. As mentioned in a previous post (http://www.woodworkforums.com/f8/camphor-bowl-151367/) this stuff had the most powerful camphor smell of any I've turned to date. I've deliberately left this one chunkier than I normally would as I wanted something with a bit of weight to it.. The side on photo is a little deceptive as the background and grain lines create an optical illusion and give the bowl an odd looking shape. In person it has a relatively nice curve to it.
The bowl is approx 270 x 110mm and finished in Organoil High Speed Burnishing Oil. First time I've used this product and I'm quite happy with the result.
Cheers
