There is a rich tapestry of colour and movement in and around this wee bowl certainly a giving not receiving one. Wild and wonderful Neil.

A gorgeous bowl. I love the interplay of colours, curls and burrs. Excellent stuff.

neil, is that the type of item that you could teach me to make on one of your courses? I have no idea whether the difficulty is 3/10, 5/10, 10/10, so feel free to say "no way!"

I do an introduction to bowl turning course either half or full day. I've had several people who have never used a lathe before go home with a finished bowl after a 1/2 day. It has to be said that I usually use an easier wood to turn, like Sycamore, but I have had a couple turning Oak as their preference. If you want to turn a burr piece though I would say you might need to book a day to complete it.
