The temps have been low here in Iowa so I got some shop time without sweating like a pig. :D This bowl is just over 8" in diameter and about 4" high. Finish is my home-brew danish oil. The sap wood has a bit of spalt to it and really contrasts with the heart wood. I have a bunch more of this walnut...hopefully it looks just a nice!

I love that purple hue walnut sometimes tarts out with. It always fades to browns on me, but its nice to enjoy while its there :D

Nice job n the layout you captured the tree quite well.
 
I really like it, the wood is beautiful and you displayed it well, and the shape, I like bowls like this, that can be used everyday for many many years to come and you will get joy out of using it, it's not some fragile Shelf Queen, that could be used daily by young boys and it would be good to go!
 
Thanks once again everyone. Stu, I've never sold a "fragile" bowl. Haven't turned many either :rolleyes:, but the ones I did turn I gave to friends. Each and every one was dropped and broken. :(
