Woodturning a two-tone bowl - #4 in my series, turned in ambrosia maple & padauk. 12” large bowl

Wood tends to dry out really quick here in Arizona. Not always a good thing ;)
The padauk was SO dry that it came off more like sawdust than shavings during turning even with a freshly sharp gouge.
But it finished up really nice with gorgeous markings on the ambrosia maple!

what do you think? let me know in a comment.

This one found itself a new home as a Christmas Gift for family. Working on some others that will be available in my shop soon, so don’t forget to check them out there!

Thanks for watching!

Wood is Ambrosia maple and padauk, turned on Grizley lathe.
Sanded down to about 3500 grit and finished inside and out with Dr. Kirk’s Scratch Free.
food safe finish and looks great.
