Excellent…I see why you call it the bowl of flames. Photos look good and I know what you mean about the lighting and positioning..Taking top quality photos is every bit of an art a fine woodworking.

Thanks for all of the comments.

Greg as for the lighting you will see there is a glare coming off of the bowl from the bounce of the flash. The light tent is supposed to prevent the need for the flash but I am not placing the lights properly because the pics are coming out a little yellow. A friend is supposed to help me out with it she feels it is probablly an F-Stop adjustment that needs to be made.

Beautiful wood Nice sanding and finish work. Do you know the species of wood?

I am not sure what type of wood it was, sorry. I got it out of the trash from a local tree that was taken down.

Grumpy the poly was a 50 / 50 mix of minwax helmsman satin finish and mineral spirits. I have a few cans of the minwax around so I wanted to use some of it up .

Thanks Innovator. I am using the Minwax wipe on but find it goes off before I use it all. Trying to reduce the problem by topping the tin up with BB pellets to eliminate the air in the tin, seems to be working so far.
