Woodturning a Flashy Sapele Bowl

Ойын-сауық

Sapele never disappoints but sometimes it has a WOW factor. So much flash!
Topped with a 48 segment ring of figured maple separated by mahogany veneer, this a bowl with a lot going on... movement and flash in the grain.
Thanks so much for tuning in! I know it's been a while. It was a required break to allow for some healing. Torn tendons, 99% better now.
Special thanks to all of you that reached out to me in my absence!!! I really appreciate the outpouring of concern and well wishes. I have the best subscribers on KZread! Thank you.
