Here's a Maple wood bowl I turned this week end. It measures 6.5 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches high. As are most of the bowls I turn, the wood for this came from trees in my own back yard. This wood was from a Silver Maple tree. The bowl was wet sanded with mineral oil and then finished with a high-speed wax for a gloss finish. I'm not a big fan of high gloss finishes on my bowls, but I wanted to see what this would look like on this Maple. Not bad. Some cracking developed as I turned the walls thinner and thinner. I managed to keep the cracks from spreading by using CA glue (Super Glue) to secure them.
