Philip, beautiful form on this bowl. I haven't turned mesquite yet, but I might have to break down and turn the little piece I have after seeing your bowl. I love the grain and the wormholes add a lot of character. Nice job.
Thanks Pam and Chris. I didn't find this piece that tough to work with, although the holes did give me pause for a while, but I like the way it turned (pardon the pun) out.
