Spalted white birch from an almost dead tree I removed from my folk’s property earlier this past summer. The bowl is 11” x 3 ¼”; Watco Natural and buffed.

That tree sure found a good final resting place. You've done it proud.

I like it. HTe form and the wood are great and the size seems to be enough for a big salad party.
Congrats.

I agree with Mike. Classic is a more applicable description. Besides that it would add $25.00 to the selling price.:D

Steve,
Not to mention the excellent photography! Do you have (maybe posted elsewhere) some photo tips, pictures of your photo setup, etc.?

Thank you everyone for your kind comments!

Richard - I'm still trying to figure out the photography part of turning! Picked up a photo tent and backdrop last week but still trying to figure out the best way to photo items. Glad they meet with your approval!

Very nice Steve. It would appear that you have become a "production turner" from all the pieces you have been displaying! :rolleyes:
