A friend of mine ordered a bowl for a leaving present for a colleague.
They both work in the environment field and do a lot of tree work so a bowl hand turned would be very fitting.
I had a couple of pieces of special Elm in the workshop ..... this is the result.
Took ages to turn because of the burring, and I was constantly sharpening my tools... Most challenging piece to date.
Didn't help that I only had 400 and 600 grit sandin paper so had to get a good finish from the tool!
Its also the orangest elm I've ever seen
