Here is a bowl turned from a birch burl. It is one of five I cored from the blank. This bowl is 14" in dia. and 6"deep.

Wow. That is some stunning wood. First pic makes it look like it's on fire. Very well done.

Right on Jack, nice form. Very seldom a dull moment with older birch, the grain and color are superb, you did it justice for sure.

Very nice Jack. It looks like you got your money's worth out of that blank with 5 bowls.

Really nice! The grain is amazing, and it looks like you took it down to an impressive thickness!

Thanks for all the compliments. The thickness is very thin on this bowl. The coolest thing to me is when one looks down into the bottom of this bowl it looks as if the bottom is lower than the surface it is setting on. This was the second largest bowl I cored from this blank. The largest warped so bad that I had to cut about half the height off to bring it back to round. I will post a picture of it when I get a chance.
Thanks again,
Jack
