This is an end grain Sycamore wood bowl. The bowl measures 4.25 inches in diameter by 3 inches high. The was a knot on the inside of the bowl that didn't show on the outside. The hard part of the knot fell out leaving a brown-lined cavity with interesting grain surrounding it. The grain on this wood looks like skin or maybe crepe' paper. The line near the rim of the bowl was made by holding a guitar string tightly against the very fast-spinning bowl. The heat of the friction charred a line into the grain. That was done after the mineral oil wet sanding up to 400 grit.
