2117 Swirly Maple Burl.

Finished 11/18/22, 10 1/8" x 2 13/16", 13.1 oz. After roughing, the roughed bowl took 5 months to stabilize, original MC was 14%, sanded to 600gt, Danish oil natural, Beall 3-step buffing method, has true undercut rim, sold for $275 1/11/23. There are many different possible burl grain patterns, and this "swirly" figure is one of my favorites! Your comments are welcome.....

Quite stunning Oldie! Is it dyed or is that the natural colour?

Thanks Kevin :)

The Watco Danish oil natural that I use, does darken white woods a little. I wish it wouldn't, but the color it gets is still appealing, nonetheless.

Then again, my photography may not accurately represent the true coloring.....IMO, it doesn't.

There have been threads about how to keep white woods white.....but, there doesn't seem to be a satisfactory solution to that proposition.....

Thank you Will :)

You know.....to my knowledge, there isn't any "official" designations to the patterning of burls, like there is to non-burls. The term "swirly" is my own word. I also use "sunburst" and "starburst", but those are basically the same thing.....
