Here is a NE bowl I turned about 10 days ago.
Cork Oak, 10" wide at it's widest, 8" wide at the narrowest, about 5 or 6" tall. Comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

Very nice NE Tom! Really like all the fleck in the wood and also all the bark you managed to keep! Seriously nice work! Also really like the first 2 photos - nice focus, color and profiles! Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Steve, As I said to Curtis in the vase post, the cork is flexible and stays on well. The problem starts when it's drying. After talking to a buddy who's done lots of cork oak, I am now using some CA on the reddish porous layer between the cork and the wood as a pre-emptive measure.
