Last month, I talked about a mulberry bowl that cracked so bad I didn’t think it could be salvaged. Luckily, I was wrong! This one actually turned out pretty good!
In the April, 2016, blog, I talked about a bowl that I had started out of Mulberry and talked about how bad it cracked while it was drying. This is what the final project turned out to be. I filled all of the cracks with black CA glue, which not only keeps the bowl from continued cracking, but also looks pretty good. The white lines are from where the wood had cracked, but not deep enough to where the black CA glue could get into the crack. These are sealed with regular, clear, CA glue.Here’s another view of the Mulberry bowl. The deep golden/yellow color of the wood will fade to a brownish/yellow over time. I really like working with this wood, at least the non-cracked parts of the wood…
