Cherry Bowl w/Feet

This is cherry, about 6 3/4" wide and 3 1/4" tall, with the opening at 5". The form is entirely (except for the feet) inspired by one of Bill Neddow's "Ceremonial" series. The feet were inspired by the "Neat Feet" challenge over at WoW. That was my first attempt at carving anything at all, so they came out a bit smaller than I intended.
Finish is several coats of DO. I haven't buffed it yet.

Excellent job, Cathy! Great shape and it's not so easy putting texturing on a tight curve like that. Well done. Personally I prefer a shape like this to have a round footless bottom, but that's just me. You're doing terrific work!
