Not sure why I like this style of bowl, I just do. I've never turned river birch before, but when wet, it turns beautifully. Dry, I was having horrible tear out even when shear scraping. This is a crotch piece Scott Smith gave me. I'm finding that river birch, when cut is nice and white, but as it dries turns a little brown. This is starting to warp a bit, so will be interesting to see where it goes. Sanded to 320 dry, then wet sanded with Doctors Walnut oil finish. Comments and criticism appreciated.
