Speckled Elm Bowl
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Speckled Elm BowlThis small bowl was very quick and fun to turn.
I am calling it elm but it may very well be Chinaberry. I was very surprised by the color of the finished piece. Along with the dark coloration there are light colored speckles that I've really come to like.
Its a small bowl with the widest part of the bowl measuring 5 inches across and the depth of the bowl is 2 inches. This bowl has a very thin wall that is just under 1/8th of an inch.
I used a homemade shellac sanding sealer which I applied two coats lightly sanding between each one. I then applied more shellac and burnished it into the wood. The final wax is Renaissance Microcrystaline Wax.The fourth pic is the trio of pieces I made at the end of March and the beginning of April.
Thanks for looking.
