    Natural Edge Cherry Burl

    This is a natural edge cherry burl bowl with birdseye. The birdseye pops right out of the natural edge so I left it thick. It is about 9" diameter x 2 1/2" tall x 3/8" thick. The finish is natural danish oil, buffed and waxed.

    I may not have it all together, but together we have it all.

    Pretty piece Rich. I like the contrast of how the non burl portion wraps up the side of the bowl on the outside against the inside that's all burl.

    No, the sky is not falling - just chunks of it are.

    Thank you for the compliments. I really like working with cherry burl. The natural edge bowls really tear up the sand paper.
