![]() Moderator 3219 forum posts 1004 photos | Well I have managed to complete a experimental bowl with hopefully has the bubble look. I believe it is maple and the inner bowl shows some quilting pattern. I have been wanting to get down to playing with different colouring techniques and this is one of them. The bowl is 7" X 2" |

![]() Moderator 3219 forum posts 1004 photos | Thank you Steven lets see if you understand this. The rim is sanded to 600grit and then a sander sealer is applied this helps stop bleeding of the stain, blue stain is applied to this. Once every thing is dry I took an eye dropper and dropped spots of water of different sizes and in a random pattern. DO NOT tilt the bowl at any stage and also don't get too close when spraying the black and white paint otherwise the bubbles will move. This now need to be left until the water has dried fully and another DO NOT touch anything as you still can smear the paint even though it is dry. Give it two or three light coats of varnish again from a spray can I found Acrylic gloss spray was great, this has now sealed every thing in. Return the blank to clean up the outer edge from any over spray and turn the inner bowl. Then finish all the bear wood |
