I thought that as I had finished the Half Track that I wanted to just do a simple piece of turning.
Looking for your thoughts on this in regards to the question below.
I keep looking at this bowl which is not yet finished foot still needs to be taken off and more cleaning of the edge. Would this be better to have the natural edge burnt using a pyrography machine, the wife say no but can't make up my mind. I've included a shot of the bottom just for interest.

Well let the wood do the talking :lol: :lol: :lol: .

I will finish cleaning the edge up first.
 
+1 for leaving it natural.

... and kudos for keeping it in one piece :-D
 
Looks like I will leave it natural.

Honest guys it did not have that many holes when I started. This was when I had just rough turned the outside. and stil have at least another six but slightly smaller as this bowl measures 9" X 4 3/$2 with the tenon
