Finished First NE bowl "Sacrifice", and award gloat
Last winter my brother and his wife decided to add on to their house, but there was an apple tree that had to come down. I told him I would help him cut it and take the wood to turn. I roughed out several pieces last December and this is the first one I finished. I am going to give it to my sister-in-law for her b-day in Dec. Now they can have their apple tree in their house!

I finished the bowl with antique oil and buffed it. It is 7" from tip to tip and 4.5" tall.

I got it done just in time for the Puyallup Woodcarvers show last weekend and took first place in the bowl category

Critiques welcomed!
