This is the big ash piece I showed progress pics of a couple weeks ago. It ended up about 16 1/2” wide and 9” tall to the highest tip of the edge. It's finished with natural Watco Danish Oil, and hand-buffed lightly with a white synthetic abrasive pad. In the pics there's one chunk of bark at the tip of one of the wings that looks like it could use some more building up. It's not that noticeable in person, but if it bugs me long enough I'll probably try to fix it.

It ain't perfect, but I'm pretty happy with it. Between the size and the unique natural edge, it's an attention-grabber in person.

Comments and critiques are welcome and encouraged, as always. :wave:
 
Really cool bowl Vaughn! Pretty wood and the NE is great! Took a couple of seconds to envision the original log! This one sure grabs your attention!

Very nice work!
 
What can i say Vaughn. You left me speechless again.:thumb:

You sure got it:thumb:

Thats a gallery piece for sure. I think you too modest when you say just "attention grabber".

I think thats a crowd stopper.:D
