Shallow Cherry Bowl - Wedding gift

[steven carter]

I made this cherry bowl as a wedding gift for my great-niece. It is 10" x 2.75", finished in home brew oil, buffed and ren wax. This piece started out darker than any cherry that I have turned, it will be interesting to see how much darker it gets.

C&C welcome, thanks for looking.

Very nice bowl Steve! Interesting rim treatment! Your great-niece is going to love it!

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Nice One Steve :), I expect the bowl to keep this darker color than other Cherry, I had a log that was much darker and the pieces I got from it always stayed darker than other Cherry wood, I like the "bowl in a bowl" look you did with the rim shape, I think this one will be appreciated for a long time to come, well done :D

Steven,
Great looking bowl. I agree with Steve, I really like the edge treatment you've done. That will make a cherished gift for your niece. It will darken very nice as time goes by.

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Some great looking Cherry Steve, and great work on it too.

very nice, woodturning really does make giving presents a whole lot better than walking around the mall

[James Roberts]

Pretty piece of wood that will get a bit darker with age, I'm sure. Your great niece will surely cherish this as a family heirloom.

[Baxter Smith]

Very nice. It makes a great gift! I might suggest adding their names and wedding date to the bottom as a forever rminder of when and why it was made.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Steven that is a really nice bowl. I like the rim treatment on it. Well done.

[Robert McGowen]

Very nice work, Steven. I agree with Baxter about signing it on the bottom.

[John Hart]

....I know your Great Niece will cherrish it.:)

Nice work on this piece Steven. I like everything about it.:)
