birch burl bowl

[flyrod444]

Hi again,

Here is a bowl that I turned out of a piece of birch burl that was located where a 350 lb burl was attached to the tree. Not knowing how nice the wood was this bowl was to be a platter. After turning into it just a bit my plan changed to try and show of the wood. If you look at the spalted markings at the bottom right center there is the outline of a wolf's head drawn by mother nature in this bowl. This bowl is around 13.5" by 4" deep.
Thanks for looking,
Jack

Not seeing the Wolf head, there is too much incredible figure in that piece to pick it out. Outstanding piece of wood and very nice turning of it:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap. Is the dark spot a bark inclusion? How did you deal with it?
