10" wide... 3-1/2" tall... 1/8" wall thickness... Sanded thru 600 and buffed a Watco finish on it. Decided to burn a little hat (rim) band on it just to change the look up a bit.
Opinions, criticisms, feedback, suggestions, etc all welcome.

That's quite pretty, Mark. I like the classic form---if it's a user, its a perfect shape for tossed salads or buttered popcorn. I don't think you can improve much on that shape. The rim work sets the piece off very nicely.

Beauty Mark! The rim treatment makes a great bowl "greater".

Hi Mark,
There's nothing to criticise on this bowl; except perhaps that I'd like to see a few more pics from different angles. Well done!

Hmmm, with the new pics, I think I have reconsidered, I like the bowl more than I thought. Very, very nice!:D

That's a real beauty Mark. I like the branded band too. I can't believe Andy hasn't marked that one for some 'Burnt Walnut Fudge' yet.

Sorry, Curt. I only do that for bowls turned by guys I like.
Oops. I've been thinking all along this was a Mike Stafford bowl.:D
Hey Mark way to go, bud! Looks just right for some Black Walnut Fudge.

Very Nice I really like the rim what did you use a Chatter tool, carving ?

Hey David, I used a burning pen that Travis Stinson built for me (you guys notice a recurring theme here? :D )
