These are probably around my 15th-20th bowls that I have ever finished, so there are still some challenges in form and transition from side to end, but I am getting better with each bowl. I have the mirror cut of the natural edge mesquite I want to make about half as thick in a similar form, so we will see how well I manage on that. I also need to work on my photography skills and getting clear focus over the body of the bowl with better lighting. Something else I get to work on improving!
C&C welcome.
Mesquite bowl: (about 11" diameter x 5" tall)
