Silky Oak is very pretty but I thought it was a very fussy turning wood myself. Very soft and fluffy at times (or this stuff is anyway).
Now I've finally used some of it and seen its prettiness I will treat the remaining blanks with a bit more respect and think of some nice ways to use it.
I certainly enjoyed turning this bowl though, and I'm quite happy with its simple form. Next up will be a wider, shallower bowl/dish from a hardwood unknown to me or its seller.
Cheers
