Peach Bowl To Preserve Precious Memories
by Alan Stratton on Friday, April 26th, 2024 | 6 Comments
This is not the best example of wood for bowl turning. However, it was essential to turn this bowl anyway as a return gift to the lady in whose yard this tree grew. I filled the major cracks with ultra violet activated resin which I am finding very convenient for small repairs. It is supposed to be longer lasting than CA glue.
The completed bowl will be returned to the lady to preserve her memories associated with her family and this peach tree.
The bowl is nine inches diameter and three inches high, finished with wipe-only poly.
Enjoy.
You mention that the peach bowl is finished with wipe-only poly. Please can you tell me what this is and where I can get it.
I have a small sugar bowl which I was given to remove very worn varnish. It is now smooth clear wood, and your finish sounds ideal.

I purchased this batch at Home Depot. (Watco Brand)

Could you do a demonstration of how you apply the ultraviolet resin to the bowl while it is on the lathe??
Try this video.
