This is a small Box Elder Burl Natural edge that I finished last night about 7x 3.5 inches. The finish is Watco danish oil.

It was a little bit of a pain to turn since their is so little material on the one side. I tried to do the foot like Stewart Batty where the curve on the inside of foot matces the curvature of the bowl, but it is not quite right.

Very nice work Mike. I enjoy this type of natural turning more than the run of the mill natural turnings you often see. Splendid wood, and good choice of form for it.
