About a month ago a friend who is on the local Animal Rescue League's board asked me to donate a bowl for their annual auction. I haven't turned much this year, but I did find a good sized bowl from my stash to give to her. It's oak and I left the bottom a bit rough and then torched it. It's about 10" in diameter and 4" tall. I left a foot to lift it off the table a bit to show the burnt base. Finished with 5 coats of my homebrew danish oil. This is the second year I've donated for the auction and I hope it will help feed a few pets for a day or two. :rolleyes: Comments and critques are encouraged.

Excellent, Jeff. :clap: A doggie bowl that doesn't look like a dog dish. Bonus! :D I hope it brings in lots of bucks at the auction. :thumb:
 
Dog-on nice idea! I have to give you a prop...I did a cheese and cracker platter out of some gifted walnut and I roasted the edge and marble border then textured it with a file card. I will do many more this way!
