C228 --- $95.00

diameter: 9"

finish: 12 thin coats of satin-finish spar polyurethane (with UV blocker)

comments: The one is particularly hefty because of the rim design, which is basically a donut that has been wedge-shaped at the outside and inside --- there's a lot of wood there. I didn't do this for the heft but rather because I really like the shape. This is the first bowl that I have done of this shape, but I like it so I figure I'll do more of them eventually. I have classified this as a "C6" type bowl, but it is a bit different from the normal C6, with NO flat surfaces on the rim, although having the general shape of a C6. It's a real pleasure to hold, and the rim woods are quite nice. The middle section, I'm sorry to say, is a bit prosaic but does contain nice woods.

LATER: I picked this bowl up recently, for the first time in years, and I want to emphasize again what a pleasure this one is to hold because of the shape. I never did do any more of these but now that I'm reminded of it, I think I will.

flaws/issues: The Billy Webb wood at the top has a small knot, but that's character, not a flaw. The canary in the upper right has a separation that is obvious on the bottom but not on the top
