This is a bowl turned by one of my 9th grade students. The only thing I helped him on this bowl was the finish. It is around 9" in dia. by 5" high. It is turned from a locust burl he found.

Wow. Nice job, and really spectacular wood. I've never seen a bowl from locust burl before. I think I've only seen a couple locust burls in my life. Very nice.

He did a really great job. Nice shape, or form. How thick is it.

Thanks everyone,
This bowl is a consistant 1/4" thick which is thicker than most of his bowls. Being the wood was so nice he didn't want to chance the one more cut. I don't take much credit for his ability. He has what I call the eye, the ability to see and just know how thick the sides are without checking. He is going to sell this bowl so that he can buy a few tools, he bought a 14" jet lathe in the fall and needs a few good tools to use. He likes the the Thompson V-gouges we have at or school shop now.
