Last night got an email from a friend off a non bush craft site anyways she was looking at a bowl I did for someone a while back. So I picked up a new commission. Here is the start of it so far.

It's very interesting to se the process from raw log to blank to bowl... will be keeping my eye on this as a bowl is a project I would like to accomplish. Is pic 2 the round, then pic 3 the split round?

Getting closer to done. This will be a decorative bowl I am leaving it a tooled finish when done up. Got as thin as I want it outside now just gotta bring down the inner bottom of the bowl. Should be done in a couple more days.

There was a small horizontal slit that had formed on the upper edge of the bowl didn't wanna glue this piece so turning more to a piece of sculpture now. The client I am doing it for loves the way it is turning out to

Well decided she is finished gave the first good soaking of oil today

Left the outside roughly hewed for the most part took some of the chunky parts off but left a lot of axe work on it, the inside is smooth for the most part with a few knife marks
