Regular shaped bowl... the thing that's special about this one to me is that it came from a dying tree in my mom/dad's place - where my mom grew up. My mom died on New Year's Day 2002, so this bowl is going to my dad.

10" wide... 3-1/2" tall... 5/16" walls... sanded thru 600 w/ a buffed Watco finish.

Regular shaped bowl
The classic forms are still my favorite, as is walnut. Looking at the second pic gives me the warm fuzzies :) Beautiful. I want to touch it.

I really like that simple, classic shape. You did a great job. The best ones are the ones with some meaning to the wood.

Mark, that is a great looking bowl. Based on history and heritage, it is already well on its way to becoming a family heirloom.

Not much to say that hasn't already been said, but that's what I'd say, too. Great job for a great purpose, Mark.
