In the works. Started it this morning

Hi Raul,
Looking good. My eyes are getting old but it looks like you have a combination with a cut rim flowing into a natural edge.
Looks like it will work nicely without the Bark.

One thing I have been doing on most of my NE bowls is to go footless. Leave a round bottom.
It amazes people that they don't fall over and gives a great visual where it sits on the table.

I've been considering that exact thing. A deconstructed bowl doesn't need any more than to be absent a footing. I've also been thinking of accent color balls for feet. They can be placed to tilt the bowl.

This NE bowl is footless but you cannot see it in any of the photos. I'll try to remember to shoot one tomorrow
Don's Plan is a 15" footless sandcarved NE camphor bowl

I do have HF photos of a footless HF
ANASAZI II is a sandcarved and painted camphor HF turned from a log section with a small hollow.

This is the bottom the sun petroglyph is pretty close to the bottom center

Here you go Steve. I actually placed a wedge under the bowl to show the bottom curve
