This Pear 5.5 inch diameter by 2.75 inch high wood bowl is another with the scalloped base design. A pair of grooves were cut near the rim, and around the base for design detailing. This nice looking chunk of wood was full of cracks and checks and even a knot once I cut into it. Not bad enough to be dangerous, I kept going. As I the turning progressed I filled the checks and cracks with black CA glue, which acted as both a fill and as an adhesive. Wet sanded with mineral oil up to 320 grit. Finished with orange oil and beeswax. Feels like satin.
