This was a piece of Sycamore that was determined to become firewood. Many months of drying, cracking and pieces flying off when being turned. It started as a huge bowl (oh well). Even when I got it this size and nice and hollowed out, another piece flew off. That's why it curves down like it does (I don't give up easily). Anyway, it's about 12" wide and finished with Tung Oil and Beall buffed. I put the coolest gold tint on this also, but it came off with the Tung Oil. I'll have to try that again with a lacquer finish on something else. Thanks for looking and all comments welcome, Don L.
