    Another Sycamore Bowl

    This is another sycamore bowl from the General Burnside tree. It ended up 10" x 4" with my usual home brew oil finish and renaissance wax. I tried a little different lip this time.

    Steve - very nice bowl! I always like when the lip slants - just helps make the bowl different. Beautiful color on this one - nice thickness and finish! Always great when you can preserve a little history at the same time as you turn!
