The next door neighbor had some maple trees cut down a few years ago and I've been drying this piece to make a bowl for them.  It turned nicely as Maple usually does.  Love that wood.  I made a nice rim on this one too but curved up to the lower edge to make sanding easier.  Let me know what you think.  Added a few burn lines too.  It has a few drying cracks, pictured, that I super glued.  Sucked the glue in to the thin crack with the vacuum cleaner which worked well.  This one is 6.5 inch diameter and almost three inches deep.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very nice. It has a nice shape. I like the burn rings. Some kind of decorative ring makes them more appealing to me. I was thinking of starting to add some Miliput rings in the near future.

Really fantastic!

 

 I think rings and texture can really add interesting aspects to turnings. Especially when they don’t complete with exotic grain patterns 

Beautiful work.

 

Great job. Like that rise on the side into the rings.

Well done! Love the look of the burn marks, nice embellishment.

You are doing some really nice work Dan. Love the form you get with a bowl!

 

That's beautiful Dan.

Dan, so sorry to be late, but with the rain, I am able to do some catch up.  That is one beautiful bowl.  Love the design, the wood, the rim and the burn rings.
