I cut up an old Cherry log

[woody]

I had a 14" wide dome to 6" wide at the other end X 24" long cherry log that I have cut up at last it is the last one of a tree that I was given some 10 years ago here are two bits of it one is a 12" x 6" sliced beef server and the other as you can see a 8" x 3" bowl had a big split in it as you can see and it only just disappeared on across bottom from one side to the other both natural edge with no bark

Nah, the rate you turn stuff out there is no way you'd still have a lump that big 10 years?

Lovely colour for cherry and the grain works well - especially in the front of the last photo. Did you handle the splits in your normal fashion?

Lol honest I did have it that long LOL it was touch and go with the split I kept well out of the line of fire it run out on the last cut and yes I did deal with it in the usual manner

Well Woody, yet again ...  beautiful figure to the bowl, timely save for it and with the age too ...    ...

Can't say as to the bottom of the banana boat being flat, nout will roll to the middle, still a lovely piece.

Well done,

David
