I wanted the bowl to be reminiscent of work by Bob Stocksdale, one of the mid-20th century turners who helped reinvigorate the craft. It's made from mahogany and measured 7 in. in dia. and 2 in. high Once I'd finished the turning and sanded it to P220, I burnished it with the end of a box wrench to give it a nice matte finish, then wiped on a dark brown stain as the bowl turned slowly. Once the stain had dried, I finished it with a coat of paste was.
