Simple bowl!

Hi folks
Saw this shape on another forum and thought I`d have a go. The wood is Tulipwood.

Comments welcome thanks
Regards
Steve

Very, very nice Steve, you've made an often dull wood look beautiful, well done, Cheers, Lee.

that looks incredibly thin walled, Very nice indeed

Looks like you had more success with Tulipwood than I did.

I spent all morning excavating a tulip tree trunk with the intention of making a large vase. Went back after lunch and found the base a mass of splits ... Ho hum.....

Your bowl looks lovely. Very fine.

Thanks for the comments guys. I usually end up pyroing or colouring stuff lately but refrained with this one ;-)
Cheers
Steve

That's gorgeous, well done! I love the little flicked out rim

Lovely curve, great figuring. IMHO it would be better without the tenon, but then aesthetics are in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks Muina and Mike glad you like it

Cheers for that Nev,Tulipwood can be a bit drab but I think this piece had some nice detail on which hopefully the wax has brought out!
