This is undoubtedly the largest bowl I’ve turned and am pleased with the results. About 16” diameter which barely allows banjo to slide under the bowl. About 6” deep.

Thanks! All natural color. Finish is walnut oil. Here’s pic while on lathe before finishing.Did you burn it, or was it that color naturally?
Very cool either way.

Magnanimous! What a HUGE trophy! Congrats! Chuck
nice work, great colors!
I’d be pleased also. Superb!
Really nice! I really like the selection of wood you used!
Really nice Tim! I’ve passed on a lot of poplar but after seeing this I may have to cut into some from time to time. Well done!
Fill that with popcorn and settle in the recliner for the night!
Watch the butt cut for purple and black spots. That should indicate rainbow poplar or mineralized poplar. It won't stay exactly that color but it still looks neat.
Good to know - thanks for sharing!
