The largest NE that I have turned, it is just over 16" across. The finish is lacquer.
Comments and critiques welcome.

Nice, and that is a big NE piece. The feet are a nice way to do a NE piece that doesn't get rough and final turned. Looks great Dennis! Nice clean colors...I assume this hasn't had a chance to sit around in log form long before you turned it.

That's a fine looking NE bowl. I was wondering if it had three feet or four?

16" that's a beast of a NE bowl Dennis! It looks really spectacular with the bark/sapwood/heart giving it natural stripes. The feet are a really nice touch giving it that bit of air adding to the appearance of lightness. Great work!

Dennis, that's a very nice, HUGE NE bowl! Hope we get to see it next month, will you be ashore? You seem to have an inexhaustible supply of Elm!!

Had to be exciting spinning a natural edge that large. Beautifully done and well balanced. The feet set apart from other natural edge bowls. Contrast of heart wood, sap wood and bark make it a lot to look at. Thanks for sharing.

Great job on orienting the wood! Love the size! Bet that made a little noise while spinning!! Cool feet!!
