Oak Bowl from a crotch

(8" X 2 5/8")

(Log was a gift from Toby Nagurney)

After turning the outside, had to deal with this split knot; the holes went all the way through

and these cracks throughout:

The knot and cracks were filled with a mixture of epoxy and coffee grounds – two applications – blue tape on the inside

Final results: The knots came out great:

Finished with

1. Wet Sanded with Abranet 2" discs 80-320 grit with walnut oil.

2. Two coats of walnut oil  (with 1 day wait after each coat)

3. Two coats of Watco Danish oil (plus one day await)

4. Mylands lacquer based sanding sealer …

5. Followed by 4-5 coats of Mylands High Build Friction Polish
