Terrific bowl Branch. I really like the design look of the thick top edge. Beautifully crafted…

That is certainly a great looking bowl. I love the way you added the darker wood between the lighter is really adds something special to it.

Keep it up.

hi thanks for all the great comments the are very much appreciated
the top lip or edge was very scary to turn to get the finger grips or under turning on it if the chisel had slipped or dug into the rim i would have destroyed the bowl .the top lip or edge is turned to 3/8 of a inch it just looks thick in the photo

Really a nice bowl. Excellent contrast in the woods.
