Hello everyone .... I made this bowl with acacia wood gear ... unfortunately I had to discard a lot of wood because they could not resist turning .... the colors are beautiful but the photos suck sorry for my bad English ... :o ...

Francesco,

That must have been fun to turn a huge log. Very interesting shape - I'm sure it was dictated by the wood itself. I like it alot.

Thanks for providing the beginning to end photo's!!

That piece of wood has a ton of character going on inside of it! Did it hold together ok as you were turning it? Very nice vase thanks for shareing it with us.
