Black Cherry Burl Bowl

This is one of those pieces that sat around the shop till I got the courage to actually turn it. Sure didn't want an "Ooops" to happen with this one. Put 3 photos up in case some of you guys wanted a good look at the grain. The photos don't show it, but it took a terrific finish. Like glass. It's 10" wide X 5" tall. Tung Oil and Beall buffed. Thanks for looking and all comments welcome, Don L.

Very nice.

I have some green cherry I'll have to dig into. I've made a couple goblets out of the branches but I haven't had the guts to dig into the trunk. It seems to crack just looking at it. Boiling seems to work better than LDD though.

Live long, love lots, and turn fast.
