I had turned this bowl a while back and it had been sitting on my bench collecting dust (literally — and lots of it). I had just been playing with shapes and it didn’t really do much for me. Then I got the idea to put a top on it. From that point I got excited about it again. Also I wanted to use a handle but not the normal finial style I use most of the time. This one I call “apple stem” style.

The bowl is about 6″ in diameter. Body and stem are cherry, lid is walnut.
