Hi all,
Following my thread query about what to do about large inclusions in a yellow box burl, I have now finished the bowl. I was quite satisfied with the end result, even with the large inclusions and holes in the side wall of the bowl. As suggested I cleaned the inclusions using a dremel brush. The finish inside the inclusions was applied by brush using danish oil after my penetrating lacquer treatment. The turned surfaces were finished using a rag to apply the coatings and the resulting colour was amazing.
The exciting thing about turning this sort of thing is that you just don't know whats hidden behind all that bark!
Below are some pictures. The bowl is about 28cm in diameter. (Note to Ed Reiss - my wife will never put her hands in a photo again!).
Any advice most welcome and appreciated.
Cheers,
FrankG
