I completed a bowl to replace the “redirected” bowl for our group’s bowl exchange. This one is maple 9” diameter, 6 1/2” bowl diameter and 2 1/2” tall. I did the wide rim with a pyrography effect.

This wasn't my first bowl, but it was my first time using a bowl gouge (I used carbide scrapers before). Finished and photographed almost a year ago. Some feather figure and nice chatoyance.
