Humpty Dumpty

As soon as I got the outside of this bowl shaped and stopped the lathe, I realized that what I had was Humpty Dumpty, as reassembled by a committee. Size is 18.5" x 8" deep. Sugar Maple burl with bark inclusions swirling throughout.

The blank was the roughest looking thing you ever saw - knobby and all off balance. I seriously though of cutting it down into smaller pieces, until I realized the size of some of the bark inclusions.

The finish is Russ Fairfield's mix of one-third each Tung Oil, Spar Varnish and thinner. Works great. Really makes the grain pop.
