So I finally made a square bowl today... Black & white ebony with a had rubbed friction polish.

How did I do?

Thanks for looking.

Really good, the only thing is it might be nice to have the black streaks centered.

You've done a great job there. My first square bowl didn't turn out anything like that! LOL!

Looks good to me. I kind of wonder what it would look like if the points of the corners just continued upward rather than the little turn back. Pretty chunk of wood.

Nice choice of wood, and nice work on the bowl. Square and rotation don't go together. But you made it work. :D

Beyootyful piece of work on a really nice piece of wood. I personally really like the assymetric aspect of the mineral streaks in the grain pattern. This is the kind of craftsmanship that always fascinates those whose only experience "working with wood" is cutting some 2x4s to length to make a sawhorse. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Very nice bowl. I like the black streaks where they are. Besides, with Black and White Ebony you take the streaks where you can get them - in order to "center" them you'd end up with a bowl about 1/3 the size.
