Beautiful bowl. Love the wood grain. Wonder what kind of wood it is?
Looks like you are doing a great job of turning. When I first started I did a lot of spindles before I even tried a bowl.

I will have to say that is one of the most beautiful pieces of wood that I have ever seen.
Great job on the bowl.
Thanks for showing.
-- Bob, Western Australia, The Sun came up this morning, what a great start to the day. Now it's up to me to make it even better. I've cut this piece of wood 4 times and it's still too damn short.

Wow, that is one beautiful bowl and great wood you used. It is amazing what is being scrapped that could be pieces of art! you sure found a beauty for bowl #2. Are you numbering your bowls?
I have each one of mine numbered because my mentor said that I needed to make 50 bowls before I made a hollow vessel. So I am up to bowl #60. You’ll be surprised at how fast you make them!!

Great save from the trash pile. You never know what you have till you put the tools to it. Very beautiful grain.

Great bowl with beautiful colors. Nice job. It almost looks acrylic.

are you sure you didn’t find a scrap of marble in your neighbor’s wood pile? that is beautiful!

You really go lucky with that amazing piece of wood. That said, I am even more impressed at what a nice shape and proportions you got and only your second bowl! I’m sure your future holds a lot of fantastic turnings.

Did this wood have a nice smell when you turned it? Looks a lot like it could be camphor. It’s a nice turning wood and often has a lot of color and character. Very nice for your second bowl.
