Latest Bowl in Elm and abalone inlay

Elm supplied by big J of course

 

Hi slackbladder, what sort of price would a little bowl/platter, maybe 6inch dia, with abalone inlay like that cost? Ideally in a dark wood, oak heartwood or walnut maybe.

has anyone seen this bluing on field maple before?

 

they are currently two rough tuned bowls but they were a perfect creamy colour when turned and as the surface dried out over the next couple of days it turned this blueish grey colour. will it turnout or is it permanently stained.

 

what caused it?

Hi there.

 

I'd also like to have some sort of a price for an abalone inlaid bowl please, if you could PM me SB? 6" diameter and 2 - 3" deep perhaps. Don't really mind what wood it is as long as the grain is attractive?

 

Thanks.

Could be 'sap staining', seen it in Maple before. Caused by a fungus but tends, as the name suggests, stay in the sapwood. Don't know any cure for it (if it is that anyway)

Steve, I've seen this before, you get it in Sycamore too. You should be able to bleach it, can't remember if it'll turn off, but if you only did them a few days ago, take a skim off and apply a fungicide, that should keep them nice and clean looking.
