I worked up half the large oak burl today. I only had a handfull of scrape from the half I cored. I ended up with 8 bowls including the bottom I cored off to use. It is some of the prettiest oak I've ever seen. I hope it dries without much problem. The bggest is around 17" in dia.

Mounted and ready to start.
first couple bowls already cored out
Pretty grain in these bowls
This is the bottom I had left after coring. I turned the edge down and got a pretty bowl without the natural edge.
The bowls that came from one half of the burl. I cored the small core shown in this picture after it was taken which gave me a total of 8 bowls.
