Fine Woodturning by Tony Manella |
Another salad or fruit bowl out of aspen.
This one measures 12" in diameter and 3 1/2" high. This bowl was cored out of a larger bowl
and only contains heartwood. The tung oil finish on this piece really brings out the golden
color of the wood and buffing on the Beall Buffing System gives it a nice glow. This piece
was my first attempt at texturing using an old tool called a Burgess Vibro-tool. This tool
moves a round-headed bit up and down at a rapid pace causing little dents. I like the texture
and plan to do it on other pieces.
