My choice for TOTW for May 22, 2023 is Gabriel Hoff's "Elegant Ogee Bowl".

Simple, but very elegant finely executed shape, mated with exceptional burl....a combination that excels!

I agree with Bill, this is an excellent choice. Really nice work here and the wood is fantastic.

Wow! Thank you Odie! There are so many excellent pieces on the forum, so it is humbling to be selected.

Well, you bet Gabriel! :)

You're right, there is a ton of exceptional pieces in the Photo Gallery that are truly outstanding.

I chose your Elegant Ogee Bowl because it has elements that strike a chord with my own more "traditional" beliefs. Simple, well done.....combined with a great example of what Mother Nature can provide, is a pairing of two great things that become aesthetically compounded by one's influence on the other! :)

Congratulations, Gabriel ... well deserved choice. I've had my eye on this piece. If Odie hadn't chosen it today - there was a very high probability that it would have been my choice for TOTW next week!
