My favourite type of bowl plain and simple.

I think that I needed to keep this form simple as the grain says it all. Turned from Spalted Beech and is 10" diameter and I have gone back to my first finishes I started using when I began turning and that is sealer, burnished and then canuba wax.

I could not make my mind up about the chucking point so left it in as the base is quite wide I think in this case it breaks the foot up.

Wowie Derek when I read simple bowl I though WHAT will top that it is a credit to you seeing and turning so well. Love that stable base rocking bowls are not popular with the home dept and can lead to losses, minimal bases make good displays on upright stands Im a believer in more go than show.
