Sorry this took a while to update, family and church duties taking up a lot of my free time.
Had to take the pictures after most of the work had been done due to safety reasons.
Hollowed out the bowl
Sanded to 400grit (fine)
Oil finish
Taken off the lathe the chucking point sanded off with a power file and the bottom sanded and oiled.
Nice figuring!
Yep it really is partly yellow wood. I have a theory that it may be something to do with what comes naturally with dogs and trees:)
The inside again, now that it has been finished
A side view to show what the woodturning world calls "the form of the piece"
Final picture - final size is 11inch diameter and 9" high.
This is either the deepest bowl I have turned so far or the largest vase:) It had its challenges, however it is a nice wood to work with and I am looking forward to making some (smaller) pieces with the wood that is left. Hmmmmm I feel something with a natural edge to show off the unusual bark coming on:)

I am hoping for some contructive comments but what you usually get is "nice" comments or non at all!
Hope you like it Ju!
God bless
