Been busy today
Been in the workshop today and done a few things just to help keep my hand in after doing the 2 natural edge items I posted not long ago.
First on I believe is cherry which I have coloured the outside Royal Blue The grain is still visible through the stain.
Size is 4 1/2" by 2"

I seem to have a lot of wood that is about 2" thick in my store so trying to use that up first.
Hope you enjoy looking.

You sure have a wide range of talents Derek,
The bowls are beautiful but I think I like the third one with all the figure most, top job.

Wow!! All nice, I especially like the spalted and the flared one.
What do you use to get the gloss on the first one?So much timber, so little time.

Thank you all sorry for not replying earlier been away.
The first one was stained with royal blue spirit stain after shaping the outside and before turning the rim and inside. The whole thing was given coat of sander sealer and then finished with melamine lacquer both sealer and lacquer where fine sanded between coats and one dry I used T-Cut for cars on it which brought up the glossy look. You could use burnishing cream which does the same thing.
