Nice save Jim. Too bad the gold stone doesn’t show up more. I don’t believe I ever turned a piece of Alder before.

Very nice Jim…Danish Oil gives a great finish…What kind of wax do you use and is it permanent or does the project need more wax over time?
The underside of the Bowl has a nice shape and smooth lines…Good project!!!!!

Regards,

Cliff.

Thank you all for the nice comments. I hope someone likes it at the sale today!!

Hi Cliff I buff on carnuba wax and it stay nice and smooth and shiny for a long time on hard hardwoods. But wood like box elder dulls unless I use a shellac sealer after the Danish oil.

Cheers, Jim
