    Default Camphor Laurel Bowl

    G'Day Folks,

    This is a camphor laurel bowl I made yesterday, approx 10" dia by 21/2" high. Finished in No4 friction polish then wax applied with very fine wire wool.

    Regards,
    Cam

    Very pretty bowl. I cut some camphor for the first time last month. What a wonderful smell and pretty wood also.

    Smiife,

    i use 'oooo' grade wire wool scoop some wax out of the tin with it and burnish the bowl with it, then wipe off all the excess with a rag and then polish it briefly by hand.
