This is a shallow bowl made from a crotch piece of bitternut hickory. It measures 10" x 2", finished in oil, buffed and renaissance wax. Voids were filled with instand coffee and CA glue.

Steve - nice job on filling the voids! Good looking bowl! I am actually a little surprised to not find a lot of compression grain (curl) with the inclusion... guess that's what makes each bowl so unique. You just never know until you turn it! Again, very nice work!

The first thing I thought when looking at your pic is now that is the prettiest piece of Hickory I've seen in a long while! Great form and finish and the color streak makes it stand out...Bill..
