This is 7.5" in diameter and 1.5" tall and made of black mesquite wood. I’ve come to really like the water-based polyurethane finish and this has six coats of that all rubbed out like my other bowls. The poly can be recoated in just two hours so it’s possible to get all the coats on in a day or two. I let it dry for 24 hours before rubbing. This bowl is the first thing I’ve made that I feel is as good as I can do at this stage in my woodturning. I’ll never be a Bob Stocksdale but at last I’m pleased.
