resinous Euc burl bowl
The latest one 6.5"x5.0" finished with WOP and two coats of DO as a sealer. The dull pic is the bowl prior to WOP just the DO.

Ray the burl is very dry, real dry in fact. The first two coats of DO just disappeared and I would have continued, but... the intended person wants a good shine like lacquer.
Plus its a bit hard to polish with all the resin gaps and so on.
GTG no worries not sure when but go through it on the day. The one I posted is the bare bones.Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working. — Pablo Picasso

Hughie I know what you mean I had to oil a rolling pin an old one from Sue's mum which is fluted and soak it up I'll have to do at least 5 or more coats.

Very nice work. I like the way it has come up with the WOP! I wouldn't have thought that you could use WOP over DO so I have learnt something useful today! How long did you wait between the Danish oil coats and the WOP?
Cheers,

Despite the wishes of the recipient of this magnificent item, I too, am a fan of the so called 'dull' look.
I love the form and timber choice, Well Done!
