White Limba, hammered

This is 9" diameter, and 1 3/4" tall, finished with walnut oil. The interior bowl is scorched with subtle tool marks. The rim is hammered with an air hammer.

Thanks guys. I'm not sure what the name of the bit is, but it has about a 1/8" tip. The bit is about a 1/2" diameter that tapers down to a point. Make sense? e, the finish is walnut oil. I use it prior to hammering to lubricate and moisten the fibers to avoid tearing them, and then use it again at the end for the final finish.
