Boxing Day Bowl
Hi guys, my burl supplier gave me this Red Box Burl to do something with for him. The bark had already been removed and as you can see the fiddleback was even showing on the cambium layer, I decided to leave the outside of the burl as it was. I attached a faceplate and turned a recess in the bottom for the chuck.This burl was one week off the tree, obviously still green and not much moisture but it was one of the toughest burls I have turned. Finished it off with our sponsors Traditional wax. Size is 95mm high and max diameter is 350mm.
Cheers

Nice looking piece, don't be surprised if it warps if it's only a week old.

I didn't say 'don't be disappointed' I said 'don't be surprised'

Cliff, no I won't be disappointed, I have given it to my supplier. I needed to finish it before it cracked open, very hot and dry here at the moment.
