Hi @mesquite&me I'd love to see what you have! Do you have a blank can make an 8 to 9 inch bowl. 3 inches thick? I do have a mesquite blank that is about 7 1/2" but it is straight grained with no figure. I'd like some a bit more exciting if you have such! Here is a picture of what I have.View attachment 278381
I have these two, each way more exciting but may need to be stablized, one on the left is 9.5"x8"x6, the other is 9"x7"x5.5". Each have beautiful grain and have vivid color
