    Toney that is just beautiful and I'm sure they will be very happy with it. I have to say the rings on the rim really grabbed me when I first saw them. I like that touch very much!

Heavily spalted wood can really be a headache if you don't know what to expect....and if you don't stop and look often you can pass right thru alot of it.....Nice job.
    You haven't turned a lot of spalted wood, have you? Not all of it is punky.

    I share your love of spalted wood. Congrats on a beautiful job! It's great that you were able to save it and get such a large piece. The simple classic shape just adds to beauty of the wood. Perfect job!
    I'm just thankful it held.

    Just an update.

    I delivered the bowl on Friday and the client loved it. I had worried about the rings on the rim but the first thing her husband said was the rings "set it off" so I am glad they liked that embellishment.

    I need more clients like her. She loved the bowl so much that she gave me $100.00 over what I had asked for. Nice tip!!
