Very nice. :)
Even the bowl itself says it's "number 1". ;) How cool is that.

LoL. Nice bowl.

My second attempt at bowl turning. This time instead of a purchased blank, this started out as a dying elm tree in the back yard. The line near the rim that looks like a split is simply the coloration of the wood.

I have to admit a higher sense of satisfaction having gone from tree to finished project.

Wax finish. About 2" deep.

Reliever for the turner, or the workpiece? :D
