Pine Burl Bowl

This is a 17"x 7.5" Western White Pine burl bowl. The burl came out of the Sieara's very near my cabin. The tree has probably been dead for a hundred years. The burl was perfectly preserved since it was solid pitch. The wood cut polished right off the gouge. There was no need to sand it. It weighs 12 lbs. finished. It is also opaque in the right light
