Splated maple - AO and Buffed - 13" x 5".
I really liked the form on this one. I used a flat rim but I must confess that I tried but could not come up with an alternate. Some kind of embellishment but every thing I thought of altered either the inside or outside profile which I did not want to do. I guess I lack an imagination.
I love this piece of wood. The way it goes from dark brown to almost white with only a black line between them is really cool. Lots of worm holes too. Also in the second picture there is a section of wood near the rim that is almost honeycombed. Took some CA on the section to firm it up and man did it ever DRINK up the AO!
What do you think? Did I make a mistake with the boring flat rim? What else could I have done? Any and all comments welcome.

Almost forgot, here is a picture of the bottom. Ignore my LOUSY had writing and notice the logo that creeker Nancy Laird made for me. I love it. Also ignore the picture. I did it out of my tent and you can tell.
