Let me be the first to say that this one's a winnner too, and it doesn't have creepy eyes staring at ya! (That could be viewed as a positive or a negative) Great work, as always.

I don't usually curse on these boards, but sacred intercourse :eek: that wood is beautiful!
And you did a really nice job of showing it off.
I don't see how anyone could have done this any better.

What George said. Very well done Steve!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Steve that is beautiful. Well done.

A piece of wood to a turner is much like a box of chocolates, you just never know what your going to get, but most likely it will be a pleasant surprise.

[Dale Gregory]

Beautiful bowl Steve. All I can say (that's allowed here) is WOW! Great job.

[Tom Sherman]

I can only say that the photo doesn't do the piece justis. having eyeballed it, I can only say it is much more impressive that way. Could you get a close up of the feather?

[Steve Schlumpf]

Thanks everyone for all the kind comments!

Bob is right - the photos just don't do the bowl justice! Here's a close up of the feather - it actually looks like it is lit up from within!

WOW :eek::D:). Sweet bowl Steve. You nailed the 'highest use' for that piece of wood. Nice shape and the invisible/non-foot was the perfect choice. Finish looks great.

Simply beautiful.
