15" Cherry Burl Bowl

15" Cherry Burl Bowl

It's been a while since I posted, and that's because it's been a while since I actually had time to turn anything, I hope you like it!
If this bowl was three inches round with no major bark inclusions, I would be happy (and a little surprised)...
Since this bowl is 15 inches in diameter and 4 1/2 inches high, I'm ASTOUNDED (and this is one of 4 blanks I managed to core from the same tree!
I also got quite a bit of clear burl material which I have already cut up for my "OATS" segmenting, so I'm going to be busy this winter.
Kukui nut oil sanded to 600, bee's wax burnished.
Hello George,

Wow is right!! Terrific piece. That may be the best looking Cherry burl I have ever seen. And you did a great job of showing off the figure.

I don't know how long you have had your coring system, but I think you just paid for it with this beautiful burl bowl.

Best wishes,
Dave
 
Thanks guys!
This IS the nicest cherry burl I have ever seen... The fact that I have the rest of it yet to turn makes me feel SO grateful.
I didn't get my coring system till after these were done by a friend, but yup, I'm thinking I COULD have paid for it from the sales of these bowls...
