This 3.75 inch wide by 2.75 inch high bowl was turned from one of many pieces of Walnut wood given to me by my good friend, Ned Lycett, a truly gifted Bonsai master. This wood is a dream to turn, with beautiful grain. This was wet sanded as usual, with citrus/beeswax up to 400 grit, then high-speed burnished with Micro-Mesh abrasive cloth up to 3000 grit. The wood is now smooth and polished like stone. I used my Sorby texturing tool for the decorative incisions. I added a bead at the rim and shoulder. I made my own curved cutting tool to do the under cut on the inside of the top of this bowl. This is one of the best turnings I've done so far.
