Nice one Don, really like it. My last hickory would kill a woodpecker.

Beautiful piece; I like the three-cornered effect of the rim.

Very nice I really like the sculpted shape the rim created, the low sheen finish seems to suit it. Thumbs Up!

Very nice! I've come to love natural edge pieces. They are so distinctive. After you make a couple, most other bowls are just bowls.

Live long, love lots, and turn fast.

I realy like this one Don, as always with your stuff. Nice job.

BTW I must remember that phrase " Harder than Woodpecker lips " I will be saying it for years to come.........

Ruining lots of good wood to get a few average bits.
