    Fungus Gloat!

    Sycamore Wax finish trust me it has a glossy look! About 150mm x 70mm ( 6x2 3/4) Fabulous Spalting this piece of wood was given to me by a friend - he is a great friend! I love working Spalted wood it always provides a challenge and the end results can be amazing! C&C welcome

    That is a very nice ogee curve. Very subtile but flowing. Could you post a shot of the inside or bottom. It would be great to see the full effect of those pretty black lines.

    Great looking bowl. Very pleasing shape and awesome chunk of sycamore.
