It's just a little 6" bowl, but it's one of my favorites for some reason...will probably end up in the house somewhere. Finish is danish oil buffed with a little paste wax.

Critiques and commetns please

Very nice, Jeff. I can understand why it's one of your favorites. I see the rim looks a bit wavy. Did you turn it to final dimensions wet then just let it do its thing?

Yes it was green (about 2 months from cut, but sealed with anchorseal) when I turned it. I put it in a paper bag for about 3wks after checking it every few days...not much movement other than the rim, which I think gives it some character.
 
Yeah, I like the wavy rim too, Jeff. It seems to fit in with the sort of rustic look many of your other pieces have. :thumb:
