It's about 10" x 4.5. I believe it to be D. fir or maybe pine. As you can tell, it was turned from very unstable wood; lots of ca glue and "Wood Petrifier" to keep it all together. The gray-scale helps to highlight the voids.

Although I do very much like the Grey-Scale pic I wouldn't mind seeing one in color as well. If not that is also ok.
Nice work.

Yep, here's a coloured view of the other side of the bowl.

Very interesting bowl Tom! Love the color variations! Judging by all the rough wood - looks like you had your hands full getting this one off the lathe in one piece! Nice work!

I almost gave up on it a couple of times because it didn't want to stabilize, little bits and powder kept coming off but, because it was going to be rough in spots anyway, the little voids didn't seem to make a lot of difference. Thanks for the nice comments!
