One of my favorite things about turning bowls is watching curves emerge where there were only straight lines. The solid block of wood goes from chunky to elegant, grounded to light, with contours and negative spaces. The seams were just glue lines, and they’ve become striations. The resin was just a mess on top, and now it’s a throbbing ring of colored light. The grain was just annular rings, and now it’s intense pattern. 

This charmer is huge. At 20 inches in diameter, it will not only occupy your table, but command a presence in the room. On a big island, it might resonate with that pendant that dominates the kitchen. It even has an undercut on the bottom, in case you want to hang it on the wall.
