Best Wishes Eric and Lynn!!

Congratulations Eric and Lynn!!  Hope the two of you have a wonderful marriage together!!

Eric and I have been friends since highschool when we helped his step dad run a front engine dragster. 

 I wanted to give him and his new bride a gift that they could cherrish everyday at their dinner table.  So, I made them a nice Maple bowl.  The bowl is about 12″ wide and 3″ tall.  I turned it from some local curly Big Leaf Maple.  I sanded the bowl to about 800 grit.  I finally got a rotary adapter made for my vacuum pump, so I was able to add some nice detail rings to the bottom of the bowl.  I added my signature, bowl number, and wood species to the rings on the bottom with my dremel engraver. 

Then I finished the bowl with 3 coats of Danish Oil.  Once that had cured for a couple of weeks, I buffed the bowl on my Beall buff system.
