natural edged yew bowl

I was asked by my daughter to turn her a bowl that she could auction of at her charity night so I decided to turn this yew bowl. all comments welcome.

There's a lot about this bowl that I like....the quirkiness of the bowl itself, the contrast of the regularity of the square rim and the finish...it all works well. One little trick that I learnt from this forum (from dr4g0nfly, if I recall) was to turn a little bead that projects upwards at the intersection of the bowl and the rim....it just works so well.

thank you for your comments. it took a lot of thinking about doing this as it just did not seem to want to play and tried me all the way.

I like this. It's well turned as can be seen by the well maintained thickness of the square rim section.

I also love to turn yew bowls to reveal the holes through them from the irregular shape of the wood, so that especially appeals to me in this case.
