These bowls were donated (in advance of being turned) for a fund-raising auction for St. Jude's hospital at a traditional archery website. About $24,000 was raised and donated for St. Jude's this year!!!
I donated three bowls. One was an 8" Cedar bowl that has already shipped to NY - no pics. The other two winners requested Pecan, so this is what I came up with.
I took some quick pics outside and they aren't great, but show the shape and color of the bowls.
This first bowl is 7-7/8" wide, 3-1/8" tall, and the thickness is 3/8". There is quite a shine on this bowl that you can't really see in the pics. It is sanded thru 600 grit, has about 3 coats of TO/BLO/MS, and then buffed on two compounds.
The second bowl also has quite a shine on it that doesn't show w/ my poor photography skills. It's 8-3/4" wide, 2-1/2" tall, 5/16" thick. Same finish technique as on the other bowl. These pieces came from two different trees, as you might can tell from the color variation.
