these three bowls are from a large piece of beech that has markings left from fungal or inscect attack or both.
the first bowl was soft in places and bits broke off when turning.
the second bowl was better to turn but with only a small bit of sound wood in it it made the gouge chatter and was finished with a scraper.
the third bowl was very easy to turn but being only 1and a half inch in thickness i made this shape as a display piece.
there is a forth piece ready to go on the lathe and when its finished i will post a pic.
