Dalmation Wood Bowl
« 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.

Looks great DW.  Just made my first one from some pine - just to learn the basics.  Thanks for sharing this with us.  I just might have to get in touch with you to learn how to do these.

Thanks again for sharing.

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.

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