Just got back from Woodcraft. After lamenting over the price of the Sawstop tablesaw, and hearing that everyone elses prices are going up like 20% next month, I managed to leave with just one turning blank.
The woodcraft here is having their 15% off everything (except sawstop and a few other high dollar items) next weekend. Nevertheless I couldn’t leave empty handed.
Made the bowl, soaked it with butcher block oil, and took these pics. Interesting, if you stare at the first two pics, they seem to jump from concave to convex.

Gary,
This is another gorgeous bowl. Very nice job. I have to warn you though these things, like pens, can be addictive. So continue turning at your own risk. :)
Thanks for the post.

The color and grain of the wood is absolutely stunning! Great work.
