I am guessing that you wanted to keep the natural burl pieces on the outside of the bowl. That type of bowl may take a lot more thought in the design process than a standard round bowl. I do like the idea. For me, it is a piece that would have sat around the shop for a long time, in plain view where I could see it every day, and then after a long time, the inspiration would hit me... It kind of looks like a calabash type of bowl, meaning the outside top of the bowl curves in some what. Correct?
