Plum Bowl

This bowl was rough turned from green plum wood and then microwaved and finished turned the next day. Sanded to 600g and finished with friction polish. Man I'm really on a friction polish kick.

Nice bowl, and finish. I like the foot.
Seems you have good luck with Plum not cracking, my Plum wood loves to crack.

That's a very nice shape and I like how you've done the rim. I second the opinion on your luck at turning plum without it cracking. The microwave might be the trick.

hehe... Again thanks for the comments. That's what I hear...that plum likes to crack, but my trouble is always with the apple. When I turn an apple piece the surface always deforms with the quilting/grain and gets bumpy then the whole piece splits. Of course I haven't tried microwaving it yet. That will be next.
