Project Information

This bowl is turned from spalted liquid amber (sweetgum).
I turned this for my pops birthday. I'm still trying to figure out my light tent but the photos are getting better. the spalting is more dramatic in real life, you can't really see it properly in the pics.

It's 50mm deep by 140mm wide (about 2 inches by 5 1/2 wide)

finished with EEE Ultra Shine and Shellawax

thanks for looking

I do like this one.,. the spalting could have been more prominent.

there was more spalting towards the rim but I had an unplanned design change….
the patterns still look nice.
this has inspired me to spalt my own wood

Great turning. I'm sure your pops will be very happy with it.

Those mid process design changes can be a pain. Looks like you made a great recovery from it.

Keep it up.

Scrappy
