First from my goat of a few weeks ago. 8 1/2" X 2 3/4"; Bradford Pear; Sanded to 600 grit; BLO and poly. I went for a much thinner bowl than normal. It was a lot of fun.:)

Wood from a goat? :confused: :D

Great piece, Christopher. I really like the flared rim.

Chris, I don't care if it came from a goat or not, A great turning, last thing I tried to go that thin became two pieces rather than one :o Beautiful wood . It does get a bit scary ;)
