Butternut Vessel

It rained Saturday for a while, something we have not seen much of this year. I took advantage of the time to escape from chores and return a roughed Butternut blank I had on the shelf. I do like turning Butternut; the cobweb figure so vivid in Bill Neddows bowls gives illusions of carving and a feature ring. Maybe I like it also because it does not grow up here, therefore it must be an exotic ;-))

The vessel has one coat of wiping varnish. It is 5 high x 6.5 wide.

Thanks for looking, C&C welcome.
Looks good! I like the way the rings match up with the form's shape--it almost creates a figure eight pattern along with the cobweb stripes. I've only turned a couple butternut bowls--wish I had more.
