2186 red Amboyna burl from Thailand

2186 Red Amboyna Burl from Thailand. Amboyna burl is one of the most sought after woods of the world, and the figure and coloring on this 2-tone example is why it's so desirable. 12" x 1 3/8". 1 lb 4.1 oz. Sanded to 600gt, Danish oil natural, Beall 3-step buffed. This could hardly be called a bowl, but I used that term to describe it, so that it would be more visible in a computer search. The better, and more appropriate term would be "platter". Finished 5/21/2023, and sold for $385 6/23/2023. Turns, sands and finishes extremely well.....a pleasure to turn!

A perfect canvas for your exacting technique, Odie. My favorite one yet. Spectacular. (But I can't help thinking how many fly reel seat inserts that piece would have made)
