Natural edge Apple bowl, 11½"X6", and 3½"high

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Turned this flowering Crabapple bowl to finish a bit better than 2 years ago, and thought it was about time to get it finished :D, it is just thicker than ⅛" but a hair thinner than ³/₁₆", quite a light weight ;)
It has 2 coats of polymerized tung oil on it, and I think it could use a bit more :).
Any and all comments appreciated :D

Beautiful work Leo! Glad to see that the bark managed to stay on! Very pretty wood! Looks like a small amount of curl in the top area of the second photo! Very nice!

Nice looking piece Leo.

It has such an airy feel about like a feather or a leaf.

Leo,

I always look forward to seeing your work. This is another stunner!

Thank you, too, for your thoughtful and informative posts. Your work inspires me to become a better turner and your wisdom helps me in that effort. You are a great asset to the forum.

Leo,

Beautiful natural edge bowl. Looks great just the way it is. By the way what are you using to hold it down to the table:cool:.

Leo, That bowl looks like it is in motion or floating on the wind! Very nice and "Thin to Win!!" What happened to the tree? Is the neighbor still wondering where it went? HA HA!!! I just have to mess with you a bit Leo!!

Great bowl!!

Really nice job Leo. I too am a fan of polymerized tung oil finishes - out of curiosity, what brand of PTO do you prefer. PM me if you like.

Nice work, Leo! I love apple grain! Great job on the thickness, too!

[Leo Van Der Loo]

OOh forgot all about this one, thank you for all the comments, sorry for not replying a little earlier, Steven just some coffee ground keeps it earthbound ;),
and Jeff, yes the neighbors did give me the tree, so they know all about it :D.
Tom I get my Polymerized Tung Oil from Lee Valley, don't know who actually makes it, but Im very pleased with the quality and their service is second to none.
