I have more fun turning these bowls than anything else. They are piling up at this point so I need to find a place to sell them. If you are interested, contact me. This one is from a Cherry slab that my son and one of his friends left at my house. The banding is curly maple and the rays in each piece are phenomenal. Just because I am a big fan of walnut I had to inset a button in the lid to add just a hint of darkness. I think on the next one I’ll go back to the finial type lid but for now this one is hand-friendly.
