Virtually the same as yesterdays, but this one has no foot.

Yesterday's and today's...

The bowls are the same shape and size, apart from the foot!

Disregarding Grain etc, any preferences for one or the other?

Neil another nice bowl. Both have there merits. The one with the foot helps to rise the bowl and also this is the one I personally prefer mainly for the different grain patterns in it

I like the footless one technically to admire the consistency of shape and smooth finish. But the footed one shows the overall form off. To be fair both damn marvellous

Thanks for all your comments guys, all very helpful.
Sorry for my sparse replies to stuff, cream crackered at the mo!
Exam season at the school, and trying to sort the fund raiser day also, on top of my turning / woodworking commitments!
Regards,
Neil

Neil the first ie the left bowl with a foot gives it an opportunity to be seen all the way giving it prescence IMHO the right hand one is beaut and every bit as useful and lovely. Both press the right buttons mate. More pics of the footless indicated this might be a preference.
