Cherry Natural Edge

11.5 inches long and 8.75 wide. The end grain blotched out on me some, and the CA glue in the cracks also bled into the surrounding wood a bit, but still I like the form on this NE bowl.
nicely balanced. I ususally don't like footed vessels, but this one looks good with one. (run a bit of wax in the surrounding area before you ca...when you turn it will disappear..or a tad of shellac)
 
Hi,

Very nice bowl. I would suggest a steeper angle starting from the foot. It looks a bit "heavy assed", know what I mean?

Herb,

Thanks for your critique........it was my intention to do the form the way it is..........the curve is just what I wanted to put there, and for this particular one I wanted the curving shape and not a straighter angle from the foot, but I have seen the shape you are referring to, and it is nice.........probably one like that in my future......thanks!
