Bocote Bowl

[rossvh]

A 6" x 3" Bocote bowl. I love the grain and color, but it is dense/heavy. Finished with several coats of Butcher Block conditioner.

As always - c & c welcomed!

Great job, Ross. Bocote is one of my favorite woods, too. Love the way it smells.

Very nice bowl. It is amazing the differences in weight between different woods. It really becomes significant when making larger items such as bowls.

I like the design. I use bocote for pens and pendants. I've never seen any that I didn't like the grain. Nice job on the bowl!

It smells like dill pickles

That is a nice bowl... I love bocote. I don't see many using it for bowls. Great job.

Beautiful bowl!! I especially like the design (one of my favorites!!!) and the selected wood which certainly enhances the design and turning! Thanks for sharing and safe turning to you always!

It's a good looking bowl, but, I have to ask, how thick are the sidewalls?
