My wife and I have been going to Kauai each year to celebrate our anniversary in March. We skipped last year due to Covid, but I brougt back a nice piece of Koa wood two years ago, and finally made something  out of it. This little bowl shows off the cross grain curl and is accented with maple racing stripes. The bowl is 7 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep, and the foot is covered with soft leather. Finished in satin poly.

Beautiful to say the least, the wood is outstanding and you did a great job turning the bowl.

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Beautiful bowl, the finish you used really makes the outstanding grain stand out. Great job !!!   Mike
