A Golden Wedding Bowl

Having finished the Prince of Wales Feathers in Idigbo, I decided it would be good for this piece.
It was a commission for a Golden Wedding present and because of the colour of the polished wood it was quite suitable.
Although the grain is quite coarse and fairly friable, it turns quite well and I was able to get a reasonable finish on this bowl turned from a 9" square, 2" thick.  The corners were left about 1/4" thick and the leaves were taken completely through at the tips.
