Fine Woodturning by Tony Manella |
A homeowner near my office took
down this tree so he could replace the siding on his home. Lucky for me I found this
wood the day after it was cut. In order to keep the clear white color holly must be
turned almost immediately. Even with just a few weeks of storage in my freezer
the wood has started to discolor. I like waney edged pieces and this wood, with
its smooth bark, lends itself well to this shape. While its a small bowl, 5½"
x 4½" x 2½" hi, its white color makes it stand out. This was a gift to an artist friend
of mine who is also my biggest collector. This bowl was sprayed with Krylon Matte
Finish and then buffed using the Beal system.
