Had some shop time over past few evenings and figured it was time to catch up on some "owes". I had cut a nice slab from a Mesquite crotch and got a fair sized blank out of it so thought I'd turn a bowl to show off the grain patterns that I was sure were there. Wasn't disappointed.
Bowl has a old crack-ring shake- that the tree repaired in years past that comes in from the edge--made things a little interesting during the turning, but had no problems.
Bowl also has nice grains, sapwood (yellow), and only minimal inlay needed. Finish is poly, and is ~14 x 3 inches.
Think he'll like it (know his wife will).
