My wife’s first sycamore maple bowl

After starting on glued 2x4’s, this is her first “real wood” bowl, 7 ½“ wide & 3 ¼” tall. The form was inspired by our Japanese cast-iron teapot.

That's a spectacular job on a first bowl, especially one as difficult as this one. Kudos to her!

@Dean Center She is pleased that you liked her bowl. I should add that as a lefty, learning for her was not that easy. But now I note that she can use both hands...;)
 
John Rander
@hughie Thanks! She learned quite a lot on this project. We discussed the risk of sanding removing her well cut lines before she tackled that phase.
