Holy cow, man, that is gorgeous. I'm glad to see you went with a natural design with it instead of something ornate. Bravo!

That is definitely an excellent turning. The wood is fantastic! Will you be putting an type of wax or oil finish on it soon? I can't exactly tell from the photograph what you may have on it already, if anything!
Please post your source for the blank as I am sure others would like to know where it came from.

I got the burl from Nolan on his ebay store. Right now all I have for a finish is walnut oil handrubbed in

Red Mallee Burl
A friend of mine Skillo sends tons of Mallee to America that he cuts himself maybe Nolan buys from him. Wherever the bowl is great and that timber is never dull in my opinion.
When dry it sure is a hard timber to work with mostly people here working it wet or at least damp for that reason, makes fabulous pens as well.( pens always turned dry)
I agree the shape and lip treatment was sympathetic to that lovely grain.Well done.
Peter. PS an observation the prices over your way for the various Mallees is very favourable since it is a heavy timber and from where I live and a real lot is sent from take a look on the map just how far away we are from any of you in the USA, my Location
Canberra Australia as the Chinese said at the Olympics the centre of the universe as I am sure where you all live is as well.
