    Default Do NOT try this at home!

    OK - not dangerous, but a right pain in the @r$e regardless! This bowl is to be one of the next species I add to the website so I normally keep them plain to show the timber but you can only turn so many plain bowls and stay sane - decided on some beads. Covered the beads with sanding sealer then recut the small beads to allow the stain to 'bind'. It took 2 shots to get the clean line between the stained and plain beads but I was real happy with the end result - - - - - until I started hollowing out the inside . That black proof-tint really travels through unsealed timber eh!!! Had to pull-up at 4mm wall thickness for fear of more stain showing up and then had to work out how to cover it up - matching beads of course - but I hadn't tried doing them on the inside of a bowl before - worked out OK I think Only the slightest specks of stain showing around the inside ring which one more bead would have covered but I'm too pedantic to have 6 outside and 7 inside

    very nice , looks excellent, beads are great and the contrast acts to high light the blonde timber .

    I believe the wood is Jacaranda??,

    if so that's why the stain bled through , although the timber turns well , the grain is porous, and you know what happens, then.

    Not even close! It's Red Olive Plum (elaeodendron australe) a local native that I only collected this winter - and in real life it has a slight pink tinge to it. Absolutely beautiful to turn and sand - just got to be careful with the finishing! You'll see the whole story when I add it to my website

    Vern it looks brilliant and well worth the effort. yes wood soaks or some do colour into the grain thats why spalting goes through or coffee stains etc.

    What was the stain used?

    Great solution to the problem Vern, at that wall thickness though, I'd hate to accidentally drop it.

    Feast Watson black proof-tint - very potent spirit stain that I haven't used for ages. I initially tried normal enamel and just made a huge mess

    Can't imagine you rolling those internal beads with a skew. Unless you made up a beading tool just for this purpose, you have me intrigued as to what you did them with.
    Stay sharp and stay safe!
