First of the new year---not trying to make any statement but did make a BIG bowl from a piece of Sycamore. After I had rounded/shaped it, tried to core some others out (thinking nested bowls) but the wood didn't cooperate---too many soft spots. Got this one done and used epoxy finish on the inside so any soft spots were reinforced & it looks really nice to boot. Outside is finished with poly. Bowl is 15 x 5 inches. Wood has nice spalting too.
