This is the first free-form bowl I have made. It is of spalted Japanese Maple with a single hand-turned maple leg. I made this bowl in a weekend. The swirling grain and spalting in the burl are really nice, and the natural edges and imperfections are nicely organic, but I got a little too zealous and gouged a hole in the side. That's why you see a darker oval piece in the bigger of the two basins. The plug is Bradford Pear and adds character. Besides, I had too many hours in this to toss it in the stove just because of a little hole.
