Big Leaf Maple Bowl with lots of nice tiger figure. Around 9" (22cm) across, finished with Bush Oil and Polyurethane.

Another excellent example. I too am a fan of thicker bowls.

You should consider multiple images so we have an opportunity to look for at least one flaw;)

Beautiful bowl. That wood is very cool looking. How many coats of finish did you use? I like the deep shine.

Thanks everyone

Dennis - It is several thin coats of Wipe on Poly with a session of Abralon pads every few coats

Great looking bowl Eric! BLM is one of my favorites and all that curl is just icing on an already beautiful bowl!
