This bowl measure about 9" across and 4" deep. I thought about turning away the sapwood till I saw the dark branch like inclusion running across the white area. Bowl was beaded with a pointy 3/8" spindle gouge. I lay them out with the point of a skew in a scraping mode in order to prevent skidding when I start to turn the bead. Just that little ledge to rest the bevel on makes a world of difference when you start to roll the bead. Finish is two coats of Forby's Tung Gloss Oil followed by 3 coats of lacquer.

Bob, I like this one, too, but the other is the pick IMO. Great work on both, though!

Thanks all. Keeping the beads small adds interest without overwhelming the piece.
