Actually I'm not sure it's a bowl, but it's round and it made it to finish. Good enough for me. 8.75'' wide 3.25'' tall antique oil and paste wax. The form looked good in my mind but now I'm not so sure.

Your sanding and finish look superb and the curves are smooth and continuous. Nice job!

Great looking little bowl! It has some nice stuff happening in the grain! The shape is also very good... you mentioned that you don't know if you like the shape - I'll give you a hint. The shape might be a bit more pleasing if you made the base a bit smaller... like 1/3 the size of the rim! That would make for a more delicate shape! It is funny how a shape will seem to change after it comes off the lathe! This happens to me all the time... I think you did a fine job on this piece! Great work!

Thanks guys, and Jonathon I understand what you mean, It would give it more scale so to speak. Thanks again.
