Close up of Calcite Crystal inlay


This bowl is made from Bradford Pear. The tree was severely damaged in January 2014 from heavy snow. Our neighbor in Mallard Point had to cut it down and gave me several large pieces. (Georgetown KY)
The calcite circle on the rim was cut into the bowl 5/16 inch deep while turning on the lathe. Black calcite was inlaid into the rim. The ring was sanded through 4000 grit sand paper then buffed with tripoli and white diamond polishing paste. The finish on the bowl is Boiled Linseed oil. Several days after that cured I polish the bowl with the Beal buffing system.
