This Sycamore wood bowl is 5 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches high. Cracks appeared as I cut into this but I secured them with CA glue, leaving an unsightly stain. This is an end-grain turned bowl from a branch that was not much thicker than the diameter of this bowl. End grain is contrary to the way most bowl turning is done. It is prone to cracks during turning as well as any time after that as it dries. This was polished with it's own shavings and then finished with Orange oil.
