2/3/33-Thsee two 5x2” bowls and 9x2” platter is Oregon Claro Walnut Burl. My wife and I picked up a large chunk of this in Anaheim and when I started turning the first bowl realized it was extremely wet inside. Had to twice turn and in between the rough and final turn this bowl lost 30% weigh from shedding the moisture.

Beautiful! What was your finishing process?
I’m currently using Deft Spray Sanding Sealer for the undercoat and top coat is Deft Oilbased Gloss Spray Lacquer. I do multiple coats and in between I use 600 - 800 grit wet sandpaper followed by 0000 steel wool til my final coat looks like glass.
Deft discontinued selling Spray Sanding Sealer (per PPG) and they might have also done the same with spray lacquers. I have an inquiry into PPG to see. I live in southern Calif.and have been getting all my spray from Grants Pass when we visit which was Christmas. I purchase the store supply of 16 cases from 2 stores in the area and now the item or any Deft product is no longer sold.
