Title: Spalted beech fruit bowl
Post by: David Holden on February 18, 2020, 07:11:28 PM
I made this bowl for my brother and his wife a few weeks ago, it was an absolute pleasure to turn and the spalting of the wood was just beautiful.

Very nice. I keep seeing the Red Spot of Jupiter in it!

Not my favourite shape, but that is just personal, beautiful piece of wood though.
