Default Alder Salad Bowl

enjoyed the viewing of your bowls.
sent the pictures to my friend who is taking up
lathe work.

Another bowl that's hot off the lathe - finished it a couple weeks ago.
This is some alder that i was given about this time last year.

It's finished with walnut oil which makes a great salad bowl finish - it
actually polymerizes (dries) but doesn't build to a very thick shiny
finish. It has a nice satin luster, brings out the figure in the wood,
adds a bit of amber color, and doesn't feel greasy like other kitchen
oils do.
