Here's a slightly burled piece of cherry I was given a couple years ago. When I first turned it to a cylinder, I couldn't figure out how to best show off the little burl it had. I didn't really think that a bowl shape would do it... So I set it aside 'til last weekend. I had just bought Phil Iron's "Two books in One" Woodturning book, and saw just the thing on the front cover...
A natural edge opening hollow form. Yes!:)
I managed to keep all the bark on this thing while turning. It was when I was trying to sand the inside that I knocked the bark off.:o
Now you'll have to figure out where the bark stops and the black marker begins...
