    Default potpourri bowl

    Hi All
    Finished this bowl today it stands 80mm high with a to dia of 130
    it is hollowed a wall thickness of around 10mm
    The photos dont show very well that it is sanded to 600 and EEE finished with 3 coats of liquid shelawax
    The few small faults were filled with malachite powder and CA
    The colour is pretty close to the photos and is totaly natural

    Can anyone pick the timber?????

    A hint....... it is native to Sydney as well as many other places
    I can turn large lumps of wood into very small bowls

    Graham, it's a remarkable shape for a potpourri bowl, but after watching for a while not so bad. Don't know what kind of wood it is, but using this very nice looking wood make the difference.
    Well made by a retired old friend

    Thumbs up

    Nice turning and finishing!!

    Not exactyl struck on the shape, but that's just my opinion.

    Don't know what the timber is but it reminds me of Grey Mangrove.

    S'pose it could be an Angophora, but the colour is wrong.

    Hi Graham, that beautiful work, I like, the wood is a preciousness, it has very showy seams, but I do not know her, do not worry for the quality of the photos, the important thing the piece, congratulations are.
    I wonder why buy rice and flowers? Rice is to live and flowers to have something to live for. Confucio

    You are almost spot on ..... it is an old piece of Mangrove that by the ring count is about 50-60 but it has been laying in the salt mud for I don't know how long , from the out side appearance many years
    I know the the shape is a bit different but I was trying to show as much of the surface as I could. it is much more pleasing in the flesh than in the photos
