    Burl Bowl

    Here is a cherry burl bowl I turned last week.

    It is 5" x 3" and 1/8" in the walls and is finished with Watco.

    Thanks for looking

    Looks great Dick. You did justice to that wonderful wood. Looks like you are putting that new lathe to good use!

    Thank you everyone for the nice comments

    This was a fun bowl to turn as in the past the only burl I have turned has been very punky. This cherry was a pleasure to turn and sand (that is if sanding can be a pleasure ) I have enough for maybe 4 more bowls this size, I can only hope they all come out as nice as this one did.

    Thanks again.
    Dick
