Spalted Maple Bowl w/Eye

 Yet another spalted Maple wood bowl. This one is 8 inches in diameter and 2.75 inches high. I wet sanded it with mineral oil then burnished it with wood shavings. That small knot in the exact center of the bottom of the bowl doesn't come out through the outside of the bottom of the bowl. It wasn't visible until I cut down to the bottom of the bowl on my lathe. From some viewing angles the knot looks like an eye. This block of wood was from near the outside of a large log which had a lot to do with determining the curve of the bowl shape.
