This is my first commission..at last. A 10" diameter fruit bowl, 3" high and made from a nice piece of cherry. I've been holding off taking orders until I was satisfied that I could get the finish right, and until I'd got a bit of a stock of samples to trawl around a few galleries and hotels, but it's all systems go now!

There was some interesting colour in the rim, so I turned a chunky rim to show it off, and then under-cut the rim to give more room in the bowl

It's finished with cellulose sanding sealer and several thin coats of microcrystalline wax
