My dad dropped off a cherry burl in September. I finally had a chance today to finish two bowls roughed out in September.

They are not coated in these pictures. I have since decided to use salad bowl finish and have applied one coat. I will post again when the finish is complete.

Bowl #1 - the first picture - is about 9" diameter and 2" high. Wall thickness is about 1/4".

Bowl #2 - the second and third pictures - is about 10" diameter and 3 1/2" high. Wall thickness is about 1/4".

Thanks for the compliments. I have one coat of salad bowl finish and the grain really popped.

I think I have saved a picture of the burl with my Husky before I cut it into blanks. I need to find it and post it when I post the completed bowls.
