Appealing> The form reminds me of so many feast dishes done in Pacific Northwest native carving style.
Plus, it really has to be big enough to be practical = you did that.
Do you have any thoughts on some relief carving on the outside/rim for decoration?

what a nice comment, thank you Robson. Really nice.
cool insight in that Pacific Northwest carving style... all those rebirths
I probable will not do any carving a relief. I have to practice first. But it got the size for it,maybe the bottom slopes some simple sami scandinavian design

You're most welcome. I have 2 western red cedar log pieces with the basic drawings applied for the bowl voids and fish-tail handles.
Your feast dish looks in concept like what I want to see. Will be using an elbow adze then big gouges.
It might take me 5-15 pages (11" x 17") to get the design drawing the way I want it.
True, practice for relief or form-line carvings will pay off.

Oooh nice Mors.
That's a really tactile looking bowl, both for the eyes and hands if that makes sense?
Would be great filled with a nice rustic stew that as you ate with a horn spoon revealed the grain. (You can tell I'm a trencherman can't you?)
Lovely, lovely work.

I love a good big bowl and like the square shape.
This is one I made and have used in the woods for mixing bannock. mine is Cherry, carved green and now well seasoned.
All this came from a chunk of wood I had from work...
The SAK is for scale

thanks you so much for the kind words. People in the UK are so gentle and upright, civilized in a good manner.
I also made it with a elbow adze and spoon knives.
The axe work with a Gransfor Bruk Carpenters axe was quite a challenge
John Fenne, I saw your bowl in your other post, that looks so nice! to really put it to use, I really like our similarities. The cherry has a red core. This birch I found also had a red core. I could make these big dimensions since it was (slow growing) birch.
