Mgurure Pentagon bowl

This bowl is made from Mgurure a very dense hard African wood that is a delight to turn and finish. It is about 5" by 1.5" by just under 1/8" thick. Finished with sanding sealer, Renaissance wax and then buffed.

Thanks for the comments. I misspelt the name of the wood in the photo, it should be Mgurure as in the description. A search on Google brings up details of the wood, it is sometimes used as a replacement for Blackwood by musical instrument makers. As I said in my description it is a joy to turn and I wish I had some more.
