Here is something I started working on years ago. I had rough turned this bowl probably 2-3 yrs ago to about 3/8" thick walls. I remember that the wood was way too moist to finish turn so I threw it under my work bench and it has been drying every since. It was most likely dry enough 3-4 months after I tossed it under the bench but I more or less forgot about. Anyway I grabbed it out from under the bench last week in between ornamental bird houses and finished it up. It is Black Cherry crotch or burl, don't recall which, most likely crotch because I don't recall ever having any BC Burls. It has a nice soup bowl shape, about 5.5" across and is finished with Watco Natural wood finish. I may buff it later but I like the current look.
Side views: I think I need to adjust my photo editors color saturation, these are a little overdone. :)

Color seems a little more accurate in these two photos.
