This one is a piece of White Oak that for some reason, I had roughed out into a really, really weird shape.  Really weird!  Like, there-must-have-been-alcohol-involved kind of weird.  To make it even less attractive, the blank warped multiple directions, so I didn’t think I was even going to be able to do anything with it.  What I ended up with, after getting it mostly back to round, was this monstrosity.  I tried to disguise the ugly by adding some lines of black epoxy putty in the hopes that the black lines would keep a person’s eye from seeing the sides of the bowl are cinched in.  FAIL!
