    hughie, that is a real achievement and beautiful, but is it camphor laurel or silky oak? Looks like silky oak to me. Is it possible to get a photo/s of WIP of you next one? Did you use a jig, router, mark and cut by hand, or what? A really nice piece! Doug.

    A top bowl hughie. Very nice work.
    Only 8 hours? I wish I could make things that quickly. More like 8 days for me.

    Hi Hughie,
    Great looking bowl there could you please give the dimensions of this bowl (and is it camphor or silky) I do like the proportion and the cut outs are really effective.
    Regards Rod.
