My wife will kill me

This bowl is 180mm Dia but would have to be the most amazing grain I have ever turned .
Lace She oak I took a chance and turned this very thin 2mm but I think the teeth biting was worth it sitting on three feet finished with danish oil
My wife liked this piece but per sqaure inch I just sold this for a kings ransom . She will kill me when she finds out it has gone.
Comments welcome
i like all three
 
Absolutely gorgeous grain, wow. Beautiful, simple elegant shape also.
I'm not getting involved with the wife thing!

Terry, I'd like to let you in on a little secret. Wives love money. That's a handsome piece and those fabulous burls from your part of the world cost an arm and a leg over here. Would you be kind enough to toss one of those in the deep blue sea in such a way that it washes up on my beach over here?
 
Thanks for the comments guys
Robert they cost a fortune here as well ,I import them from Australia End up at about $16 a kg by the time I pay for the Burl ,maf and shipping then you get stuck with tax as well
This piece was even more as it was classed as exhibition burl
I would have paid 10 times what I did just to have the enjoyment of turning it
Oh and my woodturning is my money l.ol Swmbo doesnt get a sniff in
