Yellow Birch Burl

Well after roughing bowls for a year and a half I finally have blanks I can finish. It was a good way to practice with a gouge and get rid of a few the
This is absolutly gorgeous. You must have had a lot of will power to just do roughing out for that long.
 
Looking good, George. Do I detect a touch of an undercut there at the rim? Your tent appears to give pretty even lighting for you, with no glare to mar an otherwise glorius piece.

Went down and measured one burl I was given years ago, and it's still too big for even my current lathe. Maybe I should run it across the border?

Nah, I'll use it to justify a bigger lathe after tuition ceases.
