    Default Alien UFO Bowl

    After breaking a screw in another blank, I dug thru the junk pile and found this piece of ugly, junky, cracked Camphor. It said it was a challenge piece and to make a ufo bowl.
    Now me being a boofhead turner, couldn't resist the challenge of turning something completely out of balance . . . My sense of fun is seriously warped!
    285x70. Spray poly. There was no way I was applying a finish on the lathe, I like my fingers attached!

    I like the compression figure, a branch grew from the trunk.

    It does have plenty visual stimulation going on.

    Nothing there that a little epoxy fill wouldn't fix!

    Good decision not to apply a friction finish...
