This bowl was made from a piece of box elder burl sent to me by a friend in Utah. (Thanks, Curt.) It's about 9" wide and 5" tall.

They're very sharp, and they definitely caught my attention as they were spinning. I also made a spike-topped hollow form from a core that I removed from this bowl. It was another knuckle-biter if my attention strayed.
