Spalted Maple Bowl

This bowl is from some maple logs a buddy brought over. This piece is for him. The bark just came right off but I liked the shape so left it semi-natural edged. I did a little shaping with a Dremel and put some green on the edge. About 11" wide X 6" tall. Finished with tung oil and Beall buffed.
Thanks for looking and all comments welcome,
Don L.

Pretty piece Don. I really like the way your oriented the blank. That "off center" look makes it even more appealing than the standard positioning would. The foot seems to work quite well with the form too...Bill...

Your orientation of the log was just perfect. The shape divine. The foot perfect and the wood gorgeous. Looks so light that it would float! Me thinks I like it.
