    Maple Bowl

    Shallow bowl from a chunk of Arkansas Maple... this piece has quite a bit of figure and curl that I just couldn't get to show in the pictures.

    12-1/2" wide and 3" tall. The walls are fairly thick, but it has a nice feel to it. One small bark inclusion. Buffed gel poly finish.

    Something about that bowl says...."Hold me full of popcorn during a movie!" I like the wood and the form Mark!

    From the figure that I can see, that is an awesome piece of wood Mark. Great form as always, lots of character....and that foot is too cool!!!

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    A real beauty Mark. That little piece of bark really adds to it. Looks like nice smooth to the touch finish too.

    Enough awready!!! I'm seriously considering just selling off my spinny thing! Sheeeesh...You keep coming up with pieces like that and me sitting here knowing well and good that, I couldn't duplicate anything that nice! Wonderful form, Mark! The inclusion really sets it off, as well. Beautiful, as usual!
    Cheers,
