The idea for this bowl came about because of the error in this piece.

I quickly turned up a small bowl out of a piece of silky oak. Turned a small plug and hollowed out a little bit towards to center. Mixed up some epoxy with some added red dye. I attached the plug to the bottom of the bowl and waited for this to dry.

Once the epoxy cured I continued to hollow out the bottom of the bowl until I started cutting into the epoxy. I switched to sandpaper to go through the grits.

I finished this with 2 coats of wipe on poly.

I like the way it has turned out and I think I should have sanded just a little more at the bottom of the bowl. Maybe I should have used yellow dye to add a little bit of contrast?

What do people think?
