A while back Jim Becker posted pictures of a beautiful bowl he had turned which led to a discussion about grain orientation in rough cut blanks. Well seldom do I have blanks that allow me to worry about that. In this little bowl I did have a choice of how to mount the blank for turning and displaying grain to best effect. So I tried to orient the grain so that I was not quite turning end grain but about 30 degrees from vertical.
This little bowl in about 4"x4"diameter. Hope you like...
