Sorry but I think  it ruins a good bowl. :) Effect is very noticeable though if you like it.

I have learnt the first rule of woodturning.
The internal diameter should never exceed the external width.
Nor the internal depth, the external height.
Does that make me an expert now ?

These are really nice. Ash most usually lends itself to waxing well and the liming has set it off nicely. Equally lovely detail how the Verdigis wax works with the elm, which usually has such diverse colors in itself, as with the inside.

Now the porthole, looks as if it came straight off the wreck, then 3 pieces could well have been high & dry for some time, defiantly the lower piece has surfaced more recently, still has the fresh washed look, yet long time at sea, well battered on the beach. Spliced rope ends too adds to the detail.
