I love them all but I think that the orangery one stands out most for me  :)

Hello George,
                     Super bowls I like the wide variation in the colours and as always the finish is superb not a blemish in site

                                                        Kind Regards John

Hi Erick.

Buffed microcrystalline wax

Thank You Ken.

Hi Tony the problem with a high shine is managing to take a good pic it reflects so much light.

Thank you all for commenting

Very nice. I also prefer the back left if a choice has to be made.

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 ?

George if asked I could not choose one over the other, as always well made and finished which is what we come to expect from your work.  Beautiful.

Whilst the finish on the two at the back makes them really stand out, design wise I prefer the ash one. It has got to the point where any bowls like these automatically shout GBF.
