Take a guess
Having just seen Woody`s burr bowl I thought I share this one with you I turned a couple of weeks ago.

I started with a pretty knarly burr & a fairly clean working area. :whistling:





Inside turned & the debris is everywhere :eeeeek:





Finished with carnauba wax

Doug,

When I saw the first pic I thought that looks like a pineapple cut through I had no idea of its potential then you did a Woody on it slapped it around quite a bit and Voila a masterpiece. I see the forum is in gallop mode.

Wish it was more simple I have a couple of hundred bowl blanks I have had for a long time going out soon but freight ya d ya pain in the bum.

Coincidence with both yourself and Woody producing simultaneously a great pleasure for me.

Kind regards Peter.:goesred:
