maria, nice job on that bowl. i want the perfect circles on these because its a contrast to the outside edges of the burls. i have worked with manzanita for over 20 years. my business is all manzanita based products that i sell to businesses all over the world. i have run into burls before but nothing like this so i want it to be perfect. it will be awhile before it is dry enough.
