Osage bowl

9" by 2 1/2", voids filled with colored expoxy, 1/4" walls. Finished with Antique Oil and Beall buffed. Sapwood on sides adds some character, I think.

Nice job Rick, a straight forward form, the nice grain needed no enhancement.

Very nice work here, Rick. I've got a OO piece on the lathe now that has bug tunnels in it. Seems they are still alive. I picked up the chunk of wood the other day and there was a small pile of yellow dust beside it. Won't be alive long though. They don't tend to survive a bowl gouge. If I'm not sure that I get it, I'll microwave it a minute to make real sure.

Did you buy the epoxy colored, or did you color it? 8)

Thanks guys.

Rev, don't forget your faceshield on that piece. Gouged bugs tend to splatter a bit! I colored the epoxy with a couple of drops of black acrylic paint. Found a 2 oz. bottle made for touch ups and such. Works great. Other colors are probably available. It's easier for me than coffee grounds, but lacks the texture.

I like your Osage Orange bowl, Rick, interesting outside shape and fine colors.
