Two Laburnum life bowls

[woody]

I was ask by a friend of the people who had the two Apricot if I could make them something like them but not exactly the same so I set about making these two little laburnum bowls one was supposed to be a burr but I cant find it they are not from the same log I did manage to keep the bark on these and applied some thin CA to prevent it coming of in the future with a bit of luck all comments welcome Enjoy

Woody, not content with teasing us with White in your Yew, you've now found some in a piece of Laburnum!

And no cracks in the cambium wood either, Laburnum is notorious for that, is it very green or luck?

It looks like you lost the outer curve a little on the lower bowl but otherwise two very nicely turned pieces.

Both are very nice Woody, though I agree the first has the better flow.

Yes I'm in agreement but the shape of the log determined the shape of the second one if I had made it a perfect dome it would have had a hole in the side which I don't normally mind but It was wanted as a life bowl and it is a bit small to have a hole in it I hope that explains why I did it like that

, is it very green or luck?

Just pure luck LOL

Wow ...  Woody, if it's not the wood, it's the pieces as well that are always amazingly stunning ...  they keep on coming.
