I like the overall shape, and also the way it is well balanced both visually and (I imagine) weight-wise. May I ask, how long did it take to turn and finish?

Thank you for your comments. This took about 3hrs to turn and about 6 days for the finish oil adding.

I am always pleased to see pieces like this. The regular thing to do with a blank of this nature would be to cut it across and make two pieces from it. But that would be too safe
Much better to leave the blank in one piece and give the turning impact. Nice one.

Bet that made a nice swishing sound as it went round. A lovely piece, I like everything about it.

I also like what you have done this one Denis, a lovely winged bowl made from a lovely bit of wood. Well turned and finished. Les
