This is my first footed bowl. It was turned from the base of a small sissoo crotch log. The crotch is at the bottom of the bowl, you can see the 2 piths.
The log was green so this was much easier turning than the endgrain ash bowl last weekend! Since it's a narrow bowl, I cheated and used my hollowing system to hollow the inside.
I used my Foredom to carve the feet, and I have to say that not only does sissoo turn like butter, it carves like butter too!
It's 6 1/2" wide by 4 1/2" tall, finish is just a coat of antique oil so far.

Thanks for looking!
