Very nice, Jason....the spalting adds lots of character to what can be a rather bland timber and the choice of shape suits it so well.

This is dead gorgeous. I know GBF isn't a big fan of this type of shape, but I am. I reckon natural wood bowls don't come much better than this.

I do like this shape it is a nicely rounded deep bowl.
What I don't like are the strait sided flat bottomed dog bowls that you make fuzzy LOL
