Elm Bowl

Well that all went down nicely. Thanks chaps.

I've got something else on the lathe but it's not gone as well :roll: Will post later.

At the end of the day the only factor to be careful of is safety. The tool that is best is the one that you find easiest to get a result with.
Judging by the bowl the Monroe is best for you for bowls.

Guys I need some advice. I'm going to give this to my mum for her birthday next week and I'm trying to decide whether to apply wax or leave it as just LO? The bowl and indeed the finish has grown on me and if it was a 'keeper', then I'd leave it as is. But in terms of protection, etc; should I apply either Renaissance wax or Woodwax22 ? Should I go as far as buffing it with mops (considering it's now off the lathe and finished)?

Looks like you're getting to grips with spinny stuff Tom, nice looking bowl - don't often get over into this forum. I would recommend a wax finish for this, just to finish it off, I often put a wax finish over oil or acrylic varnish

I tend to use a wax finish on most things simply because the average housewife has a tin or can of wax polish and will apply it to almost anything that is or looks like wood. It's easy to maintain and how shiny it is depends on how much you polish it. The oils and other finishes are fine for turners and artistic work but basic simple wax polish is what most people would use.

Must add wax as Lemon oil dries out and does not look as nice , also it can leave finger marks , so Wax Wax Wax 8)
