Natural Edge Bowl

This is 6 ¾” x 4 ¾” natural edge bowl with carved feet. It had a small crack in so I added a pewa. I really need to be better with keeping track of the wood type, as I’m not sure what wood this is. It kind of looks like Cherry but is harder and didn’t smell like cherry.

Nice, could be Bradford pear, not as dark as cherry, what was ur finish, how many coats, but that is a lot of sapwood for cherry or bp

I think the form is terrific. Call me a traditionalist but the feet don't do it for me. Super nice regardless.

Charlie, it is finished with a couple of coats of Danish oil. I don't think it changed the color much.

Thanks, Alan and Paul.

I was a bit indecisive on this one, I thought about making it a round bottom, but went with the feet.

Very beautiful bowl, Jim. I do like the feet--I think their curves complement the wavy NE rim well. The wood does looks like Cherry to me--sapwood and heartwood both have the classic Cherry characteristics. But who knows?

Nice job on the Pewa James! I do like the feet but it has been said I have a foot feti…..I will leave it there! At first glance, I thought the Pewa came out strikingly horizontal/ perpendicular to the crack…..I’m not sure what option B would be; maybe a slight tilt?
