Woodturning - Koa Pedestal Bowl with Total Boat

Thanks for liking, commenting and sharing. Really helps me regain momentum on my channel after an 8 week hiatus because of a broken finger!
Thanks to my friend, Louis Hallada, for this wonderful piece of Koa wood and the honor of working it for him. Hope you Iike the bowl, Louis!
The piece was pretty soft, so I hardened it with Cactus Juice and then filled a couple of substantial cracks with TotalBoat High Performance Resin. My friends over at TotalBoat have generously offered my viewers a 10% discount on resin. Just head over to TotalBoat.com and use coupon code CASwoodTB at checkout!

Lot of resin for one crack, seems like should be a better way. Still and all, great bowl, beautiful grain, skilled workmanship. I appreciate your sharing your time with us, thank you.

yep, you’re right. Because the wood was pretty punky even after soaking in Cactus Juice hardener, I expected the wood to suck up more of the resin than it did.
