1976 Moroccan Thuya Burl

Finished 3/19/2022, 7 3/4" x 2 1/2", 13.6 oz. Original bowl blank was 12% MC, and after roughing without anchorseal, it took a total of 5 months to stabilize. Has a kind of waxy surface that clogs sandpaper, but does finish well. Sanded to 600gt, Danish Oil Natural, Beall 3-step buff. Undercut rim. It's interesting to note that this is a root burl and very desirable, but above the ground, the wood is very plain, and there appears to be not much commercial interest in it...
