We've been light on seeing turnings - Cherry Burl

[Eugene Dixon]

I call this one 'The Mother Bowl' because there are corings yet to be processed. About 15" o.d. X 7.25 rim to 'foot'. Wall is a little heavier than I would like but the pucker factor on this one overwhelmed my courage level. Finish is Feed N Wax 4-5 heavy coats and lightly rubbed in after each. The hole in the side makes a nice handle, LOL. Ignore that bit of metal ring in the last picture. Just a part of a plant stand the bowl was setting on.

I really like the smell of cherry turning. Of course not much gets through the breathing protection.

C&C welcome.

Great bowl Eugene, and you are right we all need to post more. I really like bowls that won't hold soup. That one looks like there was plenty to be concerned about while turning.
