Good deal. You did a very nice job on it; it is a beauty.

That's a beautiful bowl! And that's the picture I'd posted to your earlier post that needs to be printed off and framed. Really great contrast!

Awesome Nate! Great looking bowl, very nice figure in that grain! Wonderful form and finish!

[Cathy Schaewe]

The first time I saw this pic, it took my breath away. What a gorgeous piece. Congrats, and well deserved!

[Jake Helmboldt]

Wow! That is amazing Nathan. The grain patterns almost give it a three dimensional quality; the inside looks like it has facets. Well deserved recognition, and I'd say that is more than just a bowl of the week.

Thank you so much for the compliments everyone! I am truly honored, but I feel like I can't really take credit for how the piece turned out; all I did was take away the part that didn't look like a bowl. Mother Nature did all the really hard work!

So that's all there is to it? Man, I thought I was supposed to take away the good looking stuff and reassemble it. I've been going about it all wrong! Oh, were it just that simple.

Congratulations Nathan, what a beautiful bowl and a well deserved honor.

[Steve LaFara]

Simply stunning!
