After turning a bowl from mesquite a couple of months ago, I noted that I cannot obtain mesquite regularly. Subsequently, Mark from Phoenix, AZ offered me a bunch of mesquite.
So, here is another bowl from mesquite with more of a pedestal design. The wood was fresh green wood. However, the mesquite, being a very dry wood, did not warp significantly. Therefore, I did not need to rough turn, dry the wood, and remount to turn again.
This bowl is finished with walnut oil and is about 8 inches in diameter and 2 inches tall.
Enjoy!
Your mesquite walnut bowl is very handsome! Also, I have several good quilter friends who would be delighted to have your burnisher tools. You’ve inspired me to turn a few of simpler shape for their approval. Thank you Mr. Stratton.
