Eucalyptus Wood Bowl #2

Here's another red bark (Iron Wood) Eucalyptus wood bowl I turned. This one measures 5 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches high. This one had wood boring beetle holes in it which I filled with epoxy mixed with gold pearl powder, which you can see in the small yellow spots in the side of the bowl. When held up to the light, it shines through the gold fills. Kinda cool looking.  This is very hard wood but turns nicely. This was wet sanded with mineral oil up to about 400 grit and burnished with its own wood shavings to a semi-gloss luster. Nice looking bowl.
