Russel,
Thanks for adding the pic for me/us, the clarity of the pic really brings the beauty of the colours within the wood!
Like I said, the "principal" of the shape of your bowl and mine are identical, mainly the top part out and going in, they where done at the same time is opposite end of the planet without any knowledge of what each one of us was doing, amazingly interesting..!:biggrin:
My bowl is not finished yet, it only has one coat of sanding sealer, waiting for me to get another dozen or so ready for the top coat which I like to do all at the same time, the product I use doesn't like to have its lid open too many times! This particular bow was ordered by a neighbor with lots of kids, she asked me if I could make a wooden fruit bowl steady enough to be full of fruit and all the kids playing on the table, where the fruit bowl stands!

.
Well, if this doesn't work, I put some Velcro on the base of the bow and on the center of the large round table, that would fix them up, I reckon!:wink:
Cheers
George
