Bill, that bowl looks great!. Loving the different colours that run through it, that's definitely what is known as Spalted!. Great finish too!.

Looks like you have managed to do a good job with that Bill.
Finish looks good on it.
Could you have taken the bowl deeper :?:

Thanks for comments but With The bowl being 3 Inch deep at its highest point I left just Over 1/4 inch with the dovetail recess this bowl I turned green as grass in woodys workshop back in October and left it in a bag of shavings until today when I finished it as I said my photographic mind is not the best and its very deceiving as to how deep it actually is I didn't go too thin unless it cracked and I lost all the bark I hope this explains it more clearly

Like that one a lot Bill - nice piece of spalted wood too - good to see you're back at the lathe.

A very nice looking bowl, Bill. I particularly like the simple lines which allow the complex patterning of the spalting to stand out.

Seriously spalted, so well done, indeed.
