This 5" bowl is another piece cut from the same stump as a bowl I posted a month ago (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?245050-Maple-stump-bowl). I'm about halfway through finishing it, using glossy WOP.

The bark inclusion on the left, above, was opening up a bit, so I filled it with epoxy colored with coffee grounds, and that seems to have stabilized it. Some of the wood was fairly punky (dry, soft, pithy), and I couldn't get the surface cut as smooth as I would like. But lots of sound, colorful burl, with nice pattern to it.

Look forward to your comments and critiques.
