Yes, you had us in suspense there for a while, both in terms of 'thinness' of the outer lip(s), and in terms of the hole-drilling! Very stunning and lovely,,, thanks!

Same here but it's starting to get close to home .

[@gordroberts53]

Well done Yuval! This has given me some ideas for a rather plane but large Arbutus bowl I turned two or three years ago. A nice band of piercings would do it wonders I'm thinking. And as it turns out, bought myself some tungsten carbide burrs on Amazon a couple weeks back... Thanks always for sharing. Please stay safe!

[@yuvallahav]

Thank you Gord!! I hope you'll share with us what ever comes out of that bowl! I'm not familiar with the term "Arbutus", is that a specific shape or a wood type I don't know??
Yuval

[@gordroberts53]

@@yuvallahav Arbutus is a species that is found only on the West Coast of BC and WA. It is related to similar species found south into CA I believe. The wood moves a lot as it dries, very difficult to find a dry round that isn't split to the point of uselessness. Turned wet it is a dream except that it will start to move as soon as you start to hollow the bowl or similar. So it has to be finished as you hollow, pretty much with each additional inch of hollowing. Must be turned in a single effort, as it will split if left overnight partially finished. Well worth the effort tho and is lovely to put a gouge to when wet. There's a short video showing the tree in my yard on my channel. Stay safe!

This is so wonderful, I will never tire of your Pierced pieces Yuval. Even though I knew what was coming, my jaw dropped at the basic bowl cut into this piece of yew. And then again when you so delicately cut the natural edge so thin. It didn't stop there ... now the piercing work. Superb, just super my friend. Glad you are staying safe. -Mike
p.s. do you keep this under lock and key so they aren't roughly handled by your admirers ? I would😁

Hi Yuval, It was a stunning bowl before you started piecing but the end result is just off the planet. I'm really glad you managed to keep the knot in place. What oil did you use for the finish? cheers, Huw

[@yuvallahav]

Thank you Huw! (still need to answer your mail, I forgot...). It was pretty nice as is, but I wanted to take it up a notch and practice my piercing a little more in different settings. The finish is as always plain linseed oil. I should get my finishing game in order as well... but I'm too lazy to wait for things to dry... :)

[@caspianx67]

That's stunning, Yuval! I've shared your video with our turner's club's Facebook group -- I've not seen many natural edge bowls made with the entire log before. Most of them are made from half the log with the pith cut out. This one looks like it was relatively well seasoned rather than green, correct? Any idea how long it had been drying? I'm also curious as to where you found the mirrored turntable -- that looks like a very useful tool to showcase completed pieces!
