Danish oil.

Walnut oil.

Sanding sealer is food safe when cured. You can use Danish oil to firm up spaltet wood. Thin the oil with some turpentine or something, then apply as much as the wood can soak up. Leg cure for a month or so, then repeat with straight oil.

One of my old apprentices carves spoons as a hobby.

I just buy it in the supermarket.

Walnut cures, albeit slowly, and gives a fairly durable surface. It is also food safe, smells good and works great on salad. It was used as the hardening agent in paint before Linseed took over. All those great masterpieces, like Rembrandt's " The night watch" that we go to museums to see, are...

Wow, that is unbelievably good.

Ha! I knew that one:)

Bob, look into rugh turning pieces, drying them and remounting them for fine turning and finishing. Way easier than trying to dry big blocks of wood without them splitting and cracking.

It does in fact.

They certainly did.

Spacy, because I couldn't figure out what was going on. Effed with my mind. Now I think I've got it, but I'd still like some more pix.

Pretty spacy. Can you take a picture from another angle, I can't wrap my mind around what you have done.

What a strange coincidence. I have a room exactly like that.

That one would be almost impossible to do as off center turning, so seeing it among all the fine, turned ones really made me sit up:lol: Here is how you do oval turning: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/evR2ixUyvJ0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay...

Did you turn the big one over 2 centers or do you have one of those chucks that can be moved out of center? If you made that one without a lot of carving and sanding, I'm impressed.

The left one has an ogive curve ending in a broad, flattish bottom. Makes for an ok form, but looks dumpy. The right one has a very slight ogive blending nicely into a rounded bottom ( As you've probably noticed, that could be a description of a woman, who is pleasing to look at) So is the bowl...

Right. I didn't notice that, as I'm not used to judging segmented work. That is a major f... up.

If you had started the curve closer to the top ( Narrow part) it would have looked better. As it is, it has a straight part before the curve starts, that takes something away from the overall impression. You do some nice segmenting, with absolutely no spaces between the segments.
