    Box Elder Burl Natural Edge

    This is a small Box Elder Burl Natural edge that I finished last night about 7x 3.5 inches. The finish is Watco danish oil.

    It was a little bit of a pain to turn since their is so little material on the one side. I tried to do the foot like Stewart Batty where the curve on the inside of foot matces the curvature of the bowl, but it is not quite right.
