Long story. I started this bowl last April with every intention of finishing it last spring. As it turned out, I had roughed it out, walls of about 3/8" thick. Just needed some final shaving and inside work...until my Dad got critically sick. He was in OK shape for a 79 year old. Previous open heart, triple by with a major valve job. Anyway, May, June, July in a hospital, then August in a nursing home. Mom's been gone a couple years from lung cancer. If you smoke...stop. Trust me, it's a horrific way to die. Anyway, got him back home first part of Sept. Spent the rest of that month and all of October playing catch up around here. My vacation started last Friday. I went and picked up the bowl only to find it warped. With a lot of patience and luck, I finally got this.
It has some light wood in it, the stuff towards the outside of the tree. Guess that's why I got it so cheap. None-the-less, my wife's happy with it.
