    It's well spalted, sycamore is a pale bland wood although good for turning, this grain pattern is stunning.

    My first thought was a natural edges bowl but the grain says otherwise, so what made you treat the rim the way you have.

    I do like the effect of the piece, well done.

    Thanks... It's a lovely piece of wood. To be honest I had a big dig-in as I was shaping near to the rim and rather than cut it down I decided to carve the edge. Glad you like it... its the best bowl I've made so far in my opinion. I have a bit more of this so looking forward to making a few more.

    Cheers, Chrome
