Hi guys,
I finished a camphour bowl today, it was full
of figure and some burl, crotch, knots and lots
of colour, after a few cracking moments , a bit
of CA, and tape to hold everthing together , finally
got there, this is the result, any comments and
advice welcome as always!

That started as a fair chunk of camphor! Looks great!

smife,
it sure looks good to me. How thin is the wall? I have not been game to make a thin bowl that has holes or is heavily cracked.
cheers

Awesome timber, well-turned. Good save for a piece of wood that some would have thrown into the fireplace. Nice turning pics, too!:2tsup:
