Here's my latest offering although the chatoyance still bothers me. Five coats of wipe on poly. Then buffed with tripoli, WD, then Ren wax. All comments, criticisms, and jokes are welcome!
Thanks for looking!

I think it's nice. The little slant and undercut at the rim are both nice.
Nice bowl from a very nice piece of elm and the finish is great.
No jokes here, Harvey!! Great job on the bowl, and a really nice piece of wood.
Really nice bowl and I really like the wood. Well done.

Harvey - that's a good looking bowl! Pretty wood - great looking finish!

Great work Harvey!! Ya know..the rim cut is exactly the same as a bowl that Carole Valentine gave me years ago....and she's famous.

Thank you all very much for the nice comments!
No joke--very nice bowl. Man, Abysserated and Chatoyance!! I'm gonna have to get me one a them word definin' books.
I really like the chatoyance of the wood and finish it adds a nice depth to the piece. I enjoyed the overall presentation and the detail at the rim is first rate. It begs to be held and examined. I've been playing around with some mulberry I saved from the chipper and have found it has similar qualities in its iridescence. I also enjoy the warm patina it develops after a couple of weeks in the sun. I find it to be very relaxing to behold when using smooth gentle curves. Much as you've done with this piece. BE VERY PROUD OF YOUR BOWL. It is about as good as one could wish for it to be. Have a safe and Happy Fourth of July Holiday weekend.

I agree! What he said.
Why does chatoyance bother you?

And.... I'm located just 1,075 miles SW of Steve Schlumpf.
Nice work!
