Natural Edge Winged Bowl

This is the Hard Maple bowl that I have the video clips of me roughing out on my flyingcurls web site. I finaly got around to finishing it!
This is what I call a Limb Burl, these pieces usualy have some outstanding figure in them, the only problem is most of the time there is not enough wood covering the void that is inside the knot. Luckly this one had plenty of wood covering the damaged area and Im pleased with its outcome.
It has some uniqe looking figure inside the bowl and on the bottom, it has a small inclusion and some wild figure radiating from it.
It is the largest of this type of bowl that I have done.
Measures 18 5/8" Long X 10" wide the bowl inside the wings is 6 3/4" and has an overall hight of 3 3/8". Finish is Gel Poly and Buffed.
A gorgeous piece of wood and an interesting design. Well done!

I looked at this one for a long time! The coloration makes it look like you might have turned part of the rim on a different axis. I finally see that it is "just" the wood, but it makes for an interesting (cool) illusion!
