Title: Dalmation Wood Bowl
Post by: DWSudekum on March 30, 2012, 10:58:26 pm: Made from a piece of Dalmation Wood that I got from Woodcrafters. I have never seen this wood before and it is VERY dense and hard to work with but it will shine very nicely.

I host my pictures though www.dotPhoto.com. Once they are there I can just post the link to the pictures. There are many different picture hosts out there. dotPhoto is just one of them, there is ( and this is just a short list )

imageshack.us/ ( we have had issues with this one in the past both here and on other boards but they seem to be fixed now )
photobucket.com/
http://tinypic.com/
www.flickr.com/

These are but a few of them there are many many more out there. Hope this helps a bit.

Very nice, how did you finish it?? Pete

I sanded it to 320 grit then used a home made mineral oil / beeswax paste wax to finish it.
