Beautiful shape and wood, Bill. Well done.

Bill.....really like the contrast the sapwood brings to that piece......

I'm one that especially likes simple well made shapes......and that one is!

Thanks for the comment, Charlie.

Thank you, Don. It is one of my favorite shapes for simple bowls. I aim for a smooth continuous parabolic curve in the interior while the exterior helps to create an illusion of greater than actual size. The actual diameter is 10 inches which is the limit of my mini lathe.

Thanks, Odie. Mesquite is my favorite wood and I was fortunate to get some really good mesquite with rare bird's eye flecking.
