Cherry burl bowl - finished

Beautiful job, Scott. Love that cherry burl.

Thanks Don. The bowl has already decided it's going to need some carving, (in other words, it's opened up a bit) so stay tuned - it's going to need some additional work. Thanks again for your feedback.

very nice, you say it has opened up?
did it open because it is in green condition??

Very nice as it is now. I would like to what transpires with the carving.

To respond to Charlie, it opened up along the axis where a limb passed through the burl. While I was turning the piece I would turn a bit, then wax the entire exposed area, keeping any drastic movenent to a minimum. Once it came off the lathe it checked at the point where the limb was. I think I can save it and hopefully it will still be a nice piece.

Thanks all for your comments.
