That's a beauty. Gorgeous wood, pure outside form flowing up to a lovely incurve rim. I also like that you did not turn it too thin. Great work.

When I read the heading, I nearly didn't bother to look, as birch can look a bit bland, but you certainly found a beautiful piece to work on, and did it justice!

Andy,

Its a bowl, but it's not about the bowl is it? It's the wood that is the story here and it is wonderful in its colour and grain.

You've done it proud.
