G026 --- $110.00

diameter: 6 3/4"
height: 5 1/2"
shipping weight: 2lb 11oz (when asking about shipping costs, please don't forget to give me your zip code)

finish: one coat of natural stain then 10 thin coats of satin-finish spar polyurethane (with UV blocker)

COMMENTS: I particularly like the heartwood/sapwood contrast and the nice grain pattern of the canary in view 1 even though it's a lot darker than it was when the blank was created (as you can see from the bowl blank pics). Although slightly more "busy" than I now care for, this is still one of my favorite "goblet" style bowls.

I ALWAYS POINT OUT ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE COMMENTED ON. THESE ARE (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED) THINGS THAT DO NOT DETRACT FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE BOWL, BUT I WANT TO BE SURE I GIVE A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION. SO ... many of the woods used have (as you'll be able to tell by comparing the finished images to the bowl blank images) darked with time. The pics other than the bowl blank pics are all recent and show the actual colors of the wood, as does the video. The yellowheart piece that goes through the center of the base has developed a stress crack on both sides and a stress separation on the view 1 side. Because this is all just under the nearly-horizontal lower part of the rim it hardly shows up at all and does not detract from the beauty of the bowl, BUT ... I hate these separations so because of that plus the reduced visual impact of the bowl due to the darkening of some of the woods, I have dropped the price from $175 to $110
