I'm a sucker for spalted wood so I would have to jump all over the hackberry and the redwood burl.

Thanks for the replies so far fellows.
I'm attaching profile views as requested. I didn't like the bottom of the spalted hackberry bowl either. I had a smaller foot on it and when it was in the donut choke I screwed it up. This wood was very punky.
This is a state wide Arts Council show where cities nominate local artists. We were nominated from our town. (We live in a small town). We have to take no more than 4 entries to them and you all are picking the 2 bowls and we are also sending in 2 glass etchings. The etchings are framed in walnut and spalted sycamore frames that I made. The Indian etching was etched by my wife and I did the turkey.
Thanks for the help.

Elm crotch and redwood... the spalted hackberry is a close third.

Added profile pictures. Would like more comments as I have only 2 days left before I have to pick 2.

I'd still go for the Elm and Redwood, though the NE bowl looks better from that angle.

Call me crazy, but I like the spalted piece and the NE the best. I like the crotch piece also, but find the outside a bit severe. The spalted piece could be a bit thinner, but sometimes when you see a piece in person thick does work. The NE could have a little bit more outside curve for a more organic feel. Good luck.

elm and the ne. Good luck to you...Bill...

Thanks for the profile shots. Elm crotch and maybe the redwood burl. Wonder if any of the judges is/are turner(s).
