That is a great burl bowl. What do you put on for a finish? Is that a marble bench top? Popeye could use it for his spinach now.
Carve On,

Hi
I put Butchers block oil on it for the finish . and the Marble is just floor tiles that I got from the £1 shop just round the corner from me .. Saves the bench from gettin hacked up
Glad ye liked the Bowl and thanks for lookin

Cheers

Thanks Dan The stand I made a few years ago for a geode that I found when out rock hunting Thought it would go well with the bowl . Glad you like them and Thanks for lookin.

Bonnie Thankyou very much It was kinda tough but a lot of fun and I had nothing better to do .
Funny thing when I cut the burl from the tree and turned it over I saw a happy face Its in the faces in wood thread !

Thanks for lookin and glad ye like it
Cheers

Hi Al, nice job carving that bowl out of the knot. It must have been very hard and a lot of work. It looks great.

Hello Al. I like your bowl and stand very much. Thank you for sharing with us. Paul

[AL...]

Thanks so much Ron and Paul
Its the best one Ive done to date I think and seeing it in the sunlight for the first time today It's now 11am here in the UK it looks even better .
Next project is a big sliver of Ash that I also picked up Its gonna be a shallow bowl.
Thanks everyone for your great comments

Cheers
AL

Well done, Al! Who needs a lathe to do bowls? And that stand is the perfect accessory for it.
