The amount of black in the shellac was just right. The black reads as a neutral “color”. So, it only added to “calm down” the overall look. The black rim with gold in the grain, great! I might have used clear instead of black in the cracks. That way, even if you can’t feel the crack, they won’t look like a crack, I think. Overall, beautiful bowl and a great job! Thanks Mike!

I have never heard of a Monkey Puzzle tree before Mike, but it does seem to have some interesting characteristics. The end grain does seem to create some problems while turning but it seems to resolve with a lot of time & care in sanding. Quite a nice idea staining the sealer as it suited this wood. Nice shape to the bowl & it finished well with the shellac. Well done my friend, it is a very pleasant bowl to look at. Cheers, Don from South Australia.

Thanks Don, the wood is also called Chilean Pine and is native to Chile and Argentine although it was brought to the UK in 1795 and it's done quite well over here.

As soon as I saw you mix that black dye with the shellac I thought to myself that looks a bit dark Mike, but I was wrong and I loved the way it looked when you finished, nice job.

Thanks John, must admit I did expect it to come out darker the amount I put in lol 😀

It worked out well for what seemed to be quite a rough lump of timber. Well done! 🙂

I'm a natural wood colour kinda gal, so when you added the black I'll admit to cringing a bit lol, but how perfect did it finish up! Beautiful 😍 Love the shape it ended up with, just perfect. Thanks as always for sharing Mike. Have a great one 🤗
