This may be the prettiest piece I have turned to date. Made from a burl which grew around a side branch, so it had a hole all the way through.
Bowl is 4" high, 4.5 " dia. at the top. Finished with Behlen's bowl finish and Hut friction polish.
I include a pic of the original burl.

Nice work, Ron! I'm assuming the base is another piece of Walnut?

Correct. It served to close the hole and to give me something to grab with the screw chuck.
