..or Flying Monkey? A nice piece of cherry that I couldn't bring myself to turn all the bark off. 13"d x 8.5"h, walls a little over 3/8", five coats of Antique Oil, buffed and Renaissance waxed.

Bam!! Sweet Ted!!! The size is impressive and the form really shows off some cool wood! It looks like a complicated shape and at that size...bet you worked in tiny bits! Really good work!

Ted, you are doing some interesting forms! Very good job of carrying the vessel walls through the cowl. Neat piece, and some beautiful wood.

Great form and wood. Not an easy do.

It looks like you have the curve line running true form outside to inside the "skirt" or flying edge. Holding the bark on that piece had to really add to the difficulty of both turning and finishing. Great job.

A unique form to say the least. Makes me think of a ne bowl that melted into a hf. You sure did one heck of a job with it. Your tool works is outstanding. Love the finish on this beautiful piece of wood.

Ted, that's kind of a two for one! A bowl with a HF inside. Very nice work and finish.

I like that Ted! I can't put my finger on what I like about it but it just looks interesting. That sure is some nice rich color in the cherry too.

This one may take me a while to figure out! Don't know if it really works or not, but I have found myself doing similar things at times. I couldn't quite bring myself to turn something away that was pretty, but not sure it really went with the form I was thinking about.

you got the line of the bowl thru the wing, just perfectly...interesting turning

Thanks for the comments folks. This is an unsettling, double-take kind of piece that I won't be duplicating anytime soon. Just had to get it out of my system
