After making so many fruit bowls recently, I fancied a change. This Horse Chestnut bowl is 10" x 3 1/4" and weighs just under 5 Ounces (141g). Wall thickness is about 1/8" (3mm) and it flexes when you pick it up! Finish is Danish Oil.

Flirting with a bottom feature like this Neil I admire your skill to produce this delicate turning. Was it green?

What only 1/8" thick call yourself a turner:whistling::whistling::whistling::funny::funny::funny:

Nice job Neil as always it is good to get away from the norm sometimes and do something for fun or a change. Like the shape
