Had a friend visit a week or so ago, looking for a bowl for wedding present. After the selection and financial deal struck and completed, she spotted a large natural edge bowl which appealed to her. Any way, since then, the bowl has been completed. It was started life in 1988, in my "big" period. It lay abandoned largely because of the spalting and some serious grub holes. Apparently, those were the features that struck the chords.
The bowl is turned from white cedar, 600mm long and 400mm wide and 165mm deep. It was turned on an ugly bowl lathe I built about 25 years ago. It is finished with seven coats of lacquer, sanded back and buffed with 0000 steel wool to give it a low sheen.
