Greetings All;
This is a simple cherry bowl. It was a wedding gift to friends. The bowl is 8 3/4 X 3, finished with Mineral oil and Bee's wax. The wood came from a very old cherry orchard that existed before my neighbor was built in the 50's. This was turned wet and DNA soaked. I love turning this cherry wet, it has a sweet smell and is just beautiful.

Have a happy tuning weekend !!

Mike

Mike - Cherry has to be my favorite wood to turn also! Love the smell, color and the way it can take detail!

Very nice bowl! Classic form, great color and finish! I am sure the happy couple loved their gift! Very nice work!

Mike, I has a great standard shape with some cool little pin limb knots that add some little eyes. On the one end grain side where you show the little lines radiating out is a nice find in the wood. You friends will cherish this hand made bowl filled with love for there wedding and future!

Great job,

Jeff
