Something a little rustic & very different for me an emerging vase from Yew branch wood, finished with acrylic lacquer

I like the two tone finish, I am looking at a bowl from a broken branch. I have seen the post here somewhere and it has given me ideas

Here is my first (successful) natural edge bowl, pretty pleased with it despite a few areas of tear out (which are barely noticeable unlike in the pictures).
I didn't dare going any thinner due to my previous failed attempt.

Lovely grain, not entirely sure of the type of oak; the log came from an evergreen tree, if it helps.

I see some very nice work there. The grain on that is very clear.
I have finished a hard wood bowl. This wood was from over an old open fire that I reclaimed/recycled
No bowl is the same each has a different style/finish or wood type

That's beautiful mate, you could have gone thinner but no need really, the trick to thin walls is to do it in sections of about an inch at a time, get it to the thickness you want and move on, once you move on don't return to the top no matter how tempting it is to do a final pass, the wood will be moving as it spins and that's a very common cause of explosions on bowls, damhik

The cherry bowl saga
After a break from the work shop over the weekend its given me the boost I needed to start over with the bits that were curing in the garage. First up was the big bowl A quick return to get rid of the excess epoxy then sanded and finished. Flipped over and did the base. Reapeated again for the small plateand that was that for the day.
