New Sapele Bowl; 9" Square w/ clipped corners 11" corner to corner 2 1/2" deep.
Still chasing the shape; Most of you won't like this one it's not thin enough, I like to leave some wood instead of turning it all to chips & dust.

That's really nice! I love the shape of it and wonder what did you finish it with?

Thank you Jeff I'm sorry I always forget to tell the finish; I start out w/ Tung oil that's all that's on there so far.
I let that dry a week or so then sometimes add another coat, once that dries I'll sand seal it w/ Deft several times sanding between coats, then finally spray Deft lacquer w/ rattle can.
