This piece of wood is magnificent. Splated just the right amount to make it a masterpiece. This bowl has a rare swing crack in it which I preserved to show it's natural beauty. A swing crack is where a tree broke during high winds the didn't die but instead, continued to grow and grow over the crack. This crack was deep into the tree. The first 4 pictures show the bowl and the last picture shows what it will look like if I cut the yarn holder in it. If you want the bowl to be turned into a Yarn Bowl use the drop down box and select Yarn Bowl option and I'll cut and finish it for you. Only adds 1 day to processing. This bowl has been hand finished and polished to a very high gloss shine.
