Popular Post cashew Posted May 25, 2020 Popular Post Report Posted May 25, 2020 While working the large flower bowl I decided to go for a rectangle -- my take on a bread bowl of sorts. I think it came out pretty sweet!! 4/4 Black Limba (love this stuff) cut with a #9 modified geometry - 30 degree angle on this one. These are a bit more difficult than the ovals were - mostly in sanding those inside corners. Also they are actually thicker in the walls than the shape of the top suggests RabidAlien, meflick, amazingkevin and 7 others 10 Quote

RabidAlien Posted May 25, 2020 Report Posted May 25, 2020 Very nice!!!! Just out of curiosity, what finish do you use to make it food-safe? cashew 1 Quote

I use danish oil then finish off with satin polyurethane -- from what I've read given time almost any finish (barring nut oil like walnut) is food safe --- I think I read 3 to 6 months to fully harden and it's fine -- oh I also finish off with a beeswax and orange oil polish amazingkevin and RabidAlien 1 1 Quote
