Approx. 9" x 3".

C & C always appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

OK, I went back and got another shot of the profile, this looks a bit better, at least to me. Pic 1 or pic 2? What say ye?

Well done Richard.......beautiful wood........gotta luv those spalt lines! Nicely done form.......I especially like the minimal foot on this bowl....simple, not too high and it compliments the form....nice finish as well.......good work!

Nicely done, I would not have thought it was that big of a bowl from just the pictures. What finish did you apply?

I think the simplicity of the form really accents the beauty of the wood.

Gorgeous wood and bowl Richard! I have roughed out a couple elm bowls but I think I need to throw them out in the woods for a year to see if they end up like this!

I thought it to be a bit chunky looking, and that first pic doesn't help any.......perhaps a photo with a bit of elevation?
