Pepper Burl bowl
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
I received this wood from a lumber mill friend here in California. It is off of a huge pepper tree covered in Burl. My friend gave me 2 Burl to turn. The first 3 pics is the largest of the 2 and was a lot of work to turn. The Burl was very porous and had quite a few holes. I ended up filling it with about 200grams of epoxy to ensure it wouldn't come apart. I used shellack to finish the piece wet sanding to about 400 or 600 grit to ensure the epoxy had at least a decent finish. The bowl ended up being 11 in diameter. The second 3 pics are of the second bowl. You will see a lot more epoxy in it since there was a hole in it and I didn't want to sacrifice any of the wood. Learned a lot of epoxy lessons on this bowl. It was about 6 in diameter. I gave this bowl to my friend as a gift and thanks for giving the wood.
