Open segment bowl

[tseger]

This is my first open segment bowl. It's made of maple. I have not put a finish on the bowl yet because frankly I'm still trying to decide what the best finish would be.(SUGGESTIONS ???) Ya'll let me know what you think, good, bad, or ugly. Tim

You got that right, my Grandpaw asked me today what the bowl was good for. I told him just to look at I guess. Tim

looking at the bowl makes my brain start singing "theres a hole in my bucket dear eligaha(spelling sucks)"

you did a great job on that bowl. the gaps all look the same to me.
you can always use it for a fruit bowl on the table.

That looks beautiful. Very beautiful! One question: How did you turn the square holes? [] I really like that design!

I like it very much. I especially like the rim. I'd like to turn one of them, so I can tell folks I keep my memory in there, oops, it spilled out again.
