Cherry Burl Bowl

[Bob Hallowell]

Here's a bowl made from a cherry burl I harvested. It's 9"x5" about 1/2" thick even though it looks thicker. Antique Oil buffed with only tripoli so it wasn't to shiney.

Critques always welcome

I like that one, Bob. Very nicely done. That little crack makes for a great accent, too.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Very nice bowl Bob! Great looking wood color & grain! I like the contrast between the smooth outside curve and the jagged natural edge - it grabs your attention! Very well done!

Wow Bob, really nice bowl, I like the matte finish.

[Bernie Weishapl]

That is a beauty Bob and really nice finish.

It's a beauty Bob, very well done, looking great, even the split doesn't detract from it :D:D

[Gary Herrmann]

That is a fabulous looking natural edge. Great form and the wood is beautiful.

[Toney Robertson]

Very nice.

I agree with Steve with how the form plays off the rough edge.

I wish I could find some burls in this part of the country but no luck so far.

Bob,
Wow, that is a real beauty. I love the form and natural edge just flows into the form . Excellent work.
