This is a Limoncillo burl bowl about 12 " in dia. Here in the tropics everything grows so fast we dont get as much figure as the more temperate climate burls but some as this are OK.

This was hard enough to take a couple of inches off a car spring V point roughing tool.

That's really nice Jim! What about an update on that giant pattern makers lathe you snagged a while back?

Chris:

The lathe is arriving Wednesday (tomorrow) on the ship and it should be about a 2 or 3 week fight with customs and we will have it. Right now we are building an addition on our building and building some kilns but it should be operational in a month. Hope to have some photos at least in the next few days.
