i know you didnt ask for crituqe, but if you look closley in the 2nd picture there are a big tear out, needs a little sanding or shear cutting or scraping

[Jon Lanier]

Matt - amazing wood on this one! Great job on bringing it to life!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Great looking bowl, with some great figure and nice form.

Good to point out the tear out. I saw it after it was done, and when I went back to try to fix it, the bowl wanted to slip out of the chuck. After my earlier funnel, I didn't want this guy to go flying :eek::). Maybe when I get a little more courage.

[Matt Wolboldt]

So I decided that I needed to try again after eating. So here's the corrected bottom. Thanks for the push :).

Matt - looks like it was worth the effort! Very nice looking bowl!

i know what you mean, i have quite a few that the guys on here didnt spot, but i did, i would love to go back and return them, but i dont think i could do it. either to thin, or the wood is so soft that i would get the same result.

not to be to picky, but you fixed the big spot, but there is still some on the right, and on the bottom left, in the new picture. just minor stuff. a lot better than some of the ones ive done
