I've wanted to try this for awhile. I've done lots of bow ties in flat wood but never for a bowl. This void really didn't need the support, at least not until I tried to add the bow tie. Yes, I broke the top part off. It fit back on pretty clean when I glued it up. I used a copin saw and chisel...

12" x 10" x 4", finished with Tried and True Danish oil.

Walnut from my dad's backyard 4 1/2" diameter. I used a skew to cut the incision lines.

...........Not Apple, of course, lol. Walnut, 8x8 inches Could not bring myself to do any more embellishment than this. I thought "Simple, plain, good wood" and let it be.
