This is the bowl that I posted "in progress" last month from the haul of chestnut burl that I purchased. This is the first time that I have turned burl and am looking forward to turning much more!

Thanks, David. Dimensions are 3.75" x 8.5", finished with tung oil. I will wipe on a few more coats and try to keep the finish fairly flat.

Your bowl triggers a feeling of comfort and I hope to see it in person next month at INW meeting. Very nice.
Also, thanks for the invitation to join INW, which I plan to do at the next meeting.

That is a very nice bowl John, and that wood is beautiful. I have never tried any burl myself yet but the day is soon coming.

Nice calabash style bowl John, and the burl is beautiful, was it hard to turn as far of density of the wood? I still haven't turned any burl yet.
