A little Mallee burr bowl that I had turned sometime ago and thought it looked a bit plain. So I came up with this, its a representation of tidal flats when the tide is out.

A fair bit :) , the hardest part was sanding the narrow coves, might be awhile before I repeat this one.

Very nice indeed. a piece that would not only be good to look at but also be handled. I would not want to put it down
