Last month Matt bought a whole 8'x5' trailer load of dressed cedar, silky oak, rosewood and other timbers including some lovely slices of red gum burl, that were part of a deceased estate. It was excellent value as the bloke wanted to sell the lot in one go. His late father was an avid woodworker and his entire stock of timber had to go. There were some items that had already been turned but not finished. Amongs these were 2 large red gum burl bowls. Matt finished this one by sanding and then applying several coats of citrus bees wax.
This next one was finished with several coats of gloss lacquer. There is so much timber that Matt is having trouble finding room in the shed for it so at the moment it is still loaded in the trailer and covered with a tarp to protect it from the weather.
He was as happy as a kid at Christmas when we got home from our long day trip to Taree to collect it all.
Cheers
