Another bowl.

Here is my latest effort- carved out with a chainsaw, and finished with a combination of sanders and by hand, then coated with danish oil, made from spalted Beech. Carved the bulk out 6 months ago, and finished it off today.

Thanks guys, very kind of you all. I love turned stuff, but i dont have a lathe, and i think that i actually prefer doing it freehand getting wobbliness, which to me is a bit more like wood in its natural state. It is hard to really polish the inside though.

The wood came from a huge beech which was as spalted as that from the bottom of the 4' dia trunk to the tip of the branches.

Well you've done a sterling job with it mate.

Try something like this to polish the inside, attaches to drill. You will probably find something cheaper else where tho.
