Hughie,

Once again you leave us sat here drooling over your wonderful sellection of burrs & timbers.

I think I can see why it took you so long to think about finishing, other than prayers what held that burr together?

Other than 'Small' any other dimensions?

Thanks for posting, I always look foreward to seeing your work,
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!

Uncutting the bowl as you have has given maximum view of the spectacular grain.
I know this is always said, but I would like to handle this one.

Hughie, this is a beautifully detailed little bowl, like the highlight of the burnt line, sets it off, lovely form and simple finish, love it.

Cheers  David
