Now there’s a real balancing act!. That’s so cool. Great wood and super unique design.

Great piece, that would look fantastic with a wrought iron floor stand.

Just in time for the Halloween candy. Nice work.
The design is attractive even if it is a bit “tippy”.

If you haven’t worked with Myrtle wood before (actually it is California Bay Laurel) be aware it will darken in color without a sealing finish like Varathane and even then it will very slowly darken.

I like it alot! The shape is very unique and so is the wood. You just know that everyone don’t have one of these!! Where in the world did you find some Myrtle wood?

Fantastic turning. Love the square lip in contrast to the small foot. Myrtle is a good wood to work. Have used it a couple of times with nice results.

Fantastic design and trn.

Keep it up.

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

A very unusual design for a bowl but very nicely turned. The base could have been a little wider for better stability.

Very nice design and the Myrtle has some very nice grain. Well done.

Since everyone want to critique your base, you should have and still could, make it round, then make a stand for it, then everyone else but you and me are wrong….
Anyway I like it, you did a nice job.

Beautiful and unique turning. I love the wood too.

Beautiful bowl, Roper. Myrtle is really gorgeous stuff. The wide range of color and grain is amazing. I found a good source fairly close to me, and have picked up a few pieces, for some jewelry boxes.

Nice job!
