Figured Myrtle bowls

[joevan]

I bought a slab of figured Myrtle some years ago at the Working with Wood Show and at long last I cut it up and made 2 shallow bowls from it. The larger one has a diameter of some 400 mm and the small one around 280 mm and the height is about 40 mm The wood has quite a bit of spalting, some rot and worm holes as well. The real product looks better than the pictures.

Oh, Okay then. The table you took the photos of your platters looks like it could do with a clean.
