I started this Red Oak Burl bowl several months ago. Three days in a DNA bath then weeks in a pile of sawdust ---today it jumped up on the lathe and off we went.
The can of pop should give you a ideal of how big this bowl is.
It will be going to the show next week looking for a new home.
Hope you enjoy

Wow..that is a huge piece! [:0]

Hope you demand a premium on that one...the wood alone could have sold for some serious $$$.

Ahh gee Folks----Thanks for all the kind words.
These large turnings are very hard for me to sell----I could of cut it into 6 smaller blocks but hey I like BIG.

Chirs after the DNA bath and sitting in a mountain of dry sawdust----harder than woodpecker lips----I sanded it again today with 220 and another coat of Homebrew-----next will be with 400 and a light coat of a good danish oil---and buff it out.
Should end up with a nice hard finish that shines.
