I've got a nice piece of beech, which i've noticed tonight is quite nicely spalted (at least i think it is!) It's about six inches thick and i've decided the best use for it would be an end grain bowl, stripping the bark off but leaving the natural growth shape for the top of the bowl. Here's a picture of it with a 6 inch rest to show scale.
Has anybody got any tips on doing this bowl, any links or pictures with ideas for design (i'm unsure about shaping the outside but leaving the natural rim) any help would be great, i want to try and get it right as i plan on it being my moms birthday present!
Thanks
