This is only 5X3 and with 3 feet carved into the bottom. Wipe on satin poly and buff. The owner of the art shop who has been selling my turnings tells me the carved footed bowls go out the door much faster than the conventional style. Guess I better lube the dremel and sharpen my chisels too...Bill..

Sweet. Great job on the bark.

Is it a pain to do the feet?

Really a nice job, all the way around. Seen quit a few feet, but I've never had the guts to try to carve any... These look a little like baby cabrioles. Will they grow up? :D
Well done!

Bill that is a beauty. I really like the feet. I am going to have to try that on my next NE. May have to give you a PM on how to.

Very nice work William! Has a very 'finished' look to it! Good form and a great job on all the bark! The addition of the feet gives it an almost animated quality! I'm sure it will grab a lot of attention at the gallery and sell quickly! Again - very nice work!
