i decided to procead with turning the blank and have got it down to even wall thickness and sanded the outside. first coat of lacker drying now.

all that rot flew out and what bidnot i brushed out with a wire brush it aint as good as i hoped but we will see when it is donne:2tsup:

[weisyboy]

there are no sanding marks.

Hmm, photographic anomaly.

Festo's mahogany bowl looks like it has sanding marks too but I'd guess it doesn't really.

[weisyboy]

the bowl has flecks of lighter timber in places that could look like sanding marks in the photo.

I'll take your word for it.
