Here is the first of the bowls I roughed out of the chestnut. Finished turned it tonight. Came out 14" across and 6" tall. Just has 1 coat of oil on it so far.

Thanks all! I went down and put another coat of finish on this morning. Took a little better pictures before wiping it down. You could eat a lot of ice cream out of a bowl like that!
