Camphor Bowl.
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
I acquired a lot of beautiful bowl blanks so I've been interested in seeing what they look like. It's been awhile since I posted a bowl but I have a few I would to share. This Camphor bowl is 6-1/2×3''. My first time with Camphor and what a surprise after starting to take off some shavings. It has a strong scent of Vicks vapor rub and I guess they use the extract to make other medical products. My eyes lit up like the moon . It's pleasant but after awhile it starts getting to me. In pic 4 I rubbed on the first coat and it popped the grain nicely. Finished with a mixture of Danish oil and lacquer thinner, 2 to 1 parts. You get a oil finish that dries quickly that way. 5 coats total and the last 2 were just the Danish. It went through a 3 step buffing process and the results were very satisfying. P.S. I threw the shavings in my garden, they say it will help keep away bugs and critters. LOL. We'll see.
