This is loose end that I had laying near the lathe for a while and I decided to finish it for the show tomorrow.I got this big alder log from a firewood pile in Washington State. It was twice as long but it was very cracked so I cut off half of the height and burned it and still had some cracks to contend with in this piece. I filled them with powdered gold stone and CA glue. I'll never use that in a turning again unless I can just sand it. It dulled 4 bowl gouges to just clean up the fills. Actually the fleck in the gold stone does not show up very well in this small of an area.This bowl is 10” x 3” high and finished with Danish oil and buffed and waxed.Cheers, Jim
