Finally Finished the Furry . . . . . mother!
Couldn't add this to the original thread where I roughed this bowl out so here's a newy...
The rough-out stopped losing weight after just 2 months but it took a bit longer to find the tuit - but here it is The furriest section stayed painful right to the finish, so much so that the 80grit gouge was the only way to save it. The oddest thing was that that section was where I was cutting down the grain where you usually get the best finish - where I was cutting up the grain actually finished OK of the tool - go figure . 230x75, I left it fairly thick (12mm) to show the medulary ray on the rim but it is certainly not heavy - weighs in at just 330g - and I seriously reckon 80g of that is all the Kunos oil it sucked up
There's a couple of patches where it started to mould where the rough-out was sitting against other items - not game to look at the blocks of it I stored Might have more figure than Balsa wood but it's no more useful - certainly won't bother turning any more of it!

In spite of the agony a nice bowl. I agree with Hughie, VERY nice shape.
So much timber, so little time.

Did you try the Earls wood hardner, or just let it dry . . .then attack it.

I worried (justifiably) about it moulding if I tried to slow the drying at all so I just let it sit with nothing on it. Once I put it back on the lathe and trued it up, I kept dousing it with sanding sealer and taking light cuts until I got it to shape - tedious bit it worked

Bowl
Hello TTIT,
I like the shape - isnt it peculiar that we dont give it away, but perservere
no matter how long it takes. I recently gave a piece of silky 5 coats
of wood hardener to strengthen a patch that had dry rot. It must be
more than a piece of wood, eh. Drillit.
