This big bad hard burl of unknown species has been begging to be bowled for some years now. I took it on as a respite from experimenting with kinetic and deconstructing multiaxis turnings. Turned out to be an unpleasant task, as you might see from the attached before pictures, but gave a pleasant result. A heavy sixteen inches diameter, seven inches high. Finished with several coats of Danish oil. Comments, reactions, critiques always welcome.
