    Mequite natural edge

    Here is my first SUCCESFUL natural edge bowl. Usually blow the bark off of them. Had to glue one small piece back on this one. Comments, criticisms, suggestion welcome. It is 8" dia. and 3" tall. Finished with Watco Danish oil then buffed.

    I cut it twice and it's still too short

    Very Nice! I have a natural edge maple rough out in the shop that I am working up the nerve to try and finish. Last time I tried a natural edge I had a 6" perfectly spear shaped piece come flying off and wack me right at nose level. Thank goodness I had my face shield on.
