    Wedding gift for a special lady

    This yellow birch burl bowl is a wedding gift for a friends daughter. It is 14" by 5" and was from the Mazinaw Lake area of Eastern Ontario. It has 2 coats of minwax tungoil and then beall buffed. Sorry about the photo but I got my dates mixed up and the wedding is today not next week. Comments and suggestions appreicated for the piece and the photo as well, thanks Ron in Kingston

    Ron, that is stunning! I like the shape, the rim accents,a nd of course the wood you've revealed very well, luster. How very nice! I'm sure the Bride will be extremely touched and cherish this gift forever! Jude

    Very nice! Definitely something that will be used and not stuffed in the back of a cabinet.
