Just Walnut

Only put these on because I liked the wood so much..... Its got to be the most difficult I have ever worked with
( soft and spongy ) They are finished with Danish Oil ..... The Bowl is 9" and the Box Is 5".
I Know the finish is not good but I tried my best. Comments always welcome.

Stunning timber and good clean shapes to show it off......oiling must have been tedious on soft and spongy wood, but you've certainly achieved a lovely sheen.

It doesn't matter how perfect it looks, there's always room for improvement.

These work for me. Nothing fussy just let the wood speak for itself. Love them.

Thanks crazylegs .... The wood actually comes from a tree 4 to 5 hundred years old ... and boy was it rotten.

Thank You Ken........... Thank you Ed
Although I don't feel that the bowl is up to a saleable standard I will keep it for a while , its got such a nice grain.

Tony, that is stunning Walnut. If you hadn't said I'd have guessed at Tiger Oak.
And you've nothing to apologise about for the finish either, I like the softness of the effect.

Bryan I Think in total they have cost more in oil than I could have charged.

I seemed to have missed this one so a little late in commenting.
The simple shape of the turning is all that was needed to show off a lovely piece of wood. The box is the one that does it for me top job
