A piece of firewood
Found this in the local wood yard and thought it had some potential. I had to trim it a fair bit due to a split but am happy with the outcome. I hadn't intended to go with the natural edge but liked the contrast between the deep red and grey on the rim. Finish is Kunos Oil
I have another bowl to show pics of but have to re-take them as the ones I have are out of focus

Thanks for the favourable comments team
dai sensai, you're correct its red gum from a crutch section. Unfortunately I lost a fair bit of size due to me needing to remove some bits that wouldn't have survived the turning process.It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

SPECTACULAR!
Around here all my firewood is yellowish or brownish.
The turning shops ask $95.00 US for a 3 inch thick X 10 inch blank of fancy wood.
Yea, shipping, I know. Does it have to ride in a first class airline seat?So much timber, so little time.
