    Default White Cedar bowl

    Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen

    Here is a White Cedar, or Cape Lillac, bowl I have recently finished. It is like turning cheese after the usual timbers I turn (Jarrah Burl, Wandoo Burl etc). I felt I could have used my fingernails it was so soft.
    It is 290 across and finished with 10 coats of Danish Oil
    Cheers

    Nice bowl Willie.
    Made a nice hall table from Cape lilac a while back, it has lovely grain, works well with a bit of dark stain rubbed into the grain, grain reminds me of English elm

    Like you say very soft, my timber had a bit of fungus and rot in it in parts.

    Do you have any more?

    I reckon it would go well with a decorated rim, blackened/dyed/coloured, stamped, carved, textured, &/or pyrographed.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Well done Willy

    If you think that was soft, wait till you try some real cedar

    Looks good. I like the grain pattern produced in the bowl.
