London Plain Bowl

[Dalboy]

Had a couple of club members over for a chat and to go over different things so I turned this while they were here. London Plain finished with sander sealer and buffed with carnauba wax. Measures 8 1/2" X 1 1.2"

Thank you Peter. It is a lovely wood to turn as well

Really like that, as Peter says the grain is really nice.

I had never heard of this wood until quite recently when I saw a few boards at my local sawmill, posted on here about it. Apart from a couple of pens not done anything with the board I bought yet. Not thick enough to turn anything but would make a nice Box.

 

[Cumbrian Craig]

Great looking piece. Lots of pattern to look at.

 

[Dalboy]

Thank you Martin and Graig.
