Very nice but for my personal taste I would liked to have seen a more flowing form where the sides meet the bottom.
I am sure that she will be very pleased with it

That's one big bowl! I've never had much luck keeping the oak bark on turnings, it just flies off usually hitting me in the face.

Mark out the desired area of bark and soak with CA, I found that to work for me

Get the outside flowing first where you can see the shape much more easily and then when you do the inside follow that and replicate the outer shape. It is one of those things that is easier to show someone in person than to write it down. Avoid trying to follow the shape of the blank as this quite often leads to the dog bowl shape. Use a standard grind bowl gouge which I found easier to use when I started turning.
With this bowl, I gave the bottom a flowing shape all be it a slight ogee and then once done followed that on the inside. I had to do about 1" of the inside to completion before moving down another 1" and so on otherwise there would be no support on the wings to do finishing cuts. Sanding on the wings was done by hand.
I hope some of that makes sense

The photo is misleading with the light shining in the bottom, it did flow and was not flat bottomed as it looks
