Moving wood because I was disgusted with the Giants yesterday and saw this sweep on one of the splits. SWMBO is wise after all these years, and didn't ask as I set it aside. Wanted to have a little bit of everything from the natural contour to a smooth inside, so I gave my best estimate on what would make a bowl and match the slope of the outside. Did a lot of peering and matching, and found the difference was still nearly a quarter inch at the deepest. Means a bowl almost a half inch thick, but with some interesting visuals. My question, char the edge or not? It's just sanded lightly with 120, waiting to dry, so I can brass brush white, char or char and brass. Leaning toward brushing and calling it good, because the edge is so wide.
Picture of the fuzz shows what happens with a high poke to peel ratio and a forged gouge. I really prefer it to the back cut method where you come in from the rim for interrupted edge pieces.
