Years ago I bought James A. Jacobson’s book “Small and Exciting Woodturning Projects”. When one of the twins got engaged I remembered this lidded bowl and started on it. Made of my favourite wood, Yellow Cedar Birds Eye Burl. Best smelling wood I’ve come across.

Stunning.
The lathe was my favorite tool to work on in high school woodshop, but I’ve never touched one since. Seeing pieces like this make me wonder why I’ve only gone square in my hobby as an adult.

Nice work. The wood is stunning, of course, but it’s the shape I’m really taken with.
