This was the first bowl I did on my own lathe and after showing this to Gerry, he pointed out a few things where I could have improved it but also said that he knows turners who have been turning for 10 years and still don't produce something like this.
The bottom was finished with Finishing Oil which darkens the wood and the inside of the bowl was done with paste wax.
The black lines which give this unique pattern are caused by fungal attack in the wood shortly after the tree has been felled. Different types of fungi create a barrier between themselves and create this great marble effect.
