A Root-Ball Bowl

(Click any pic for a larger image)

Many years ago, a neighbour was removing a dead arbutus tree from his back yard and noticed a big knot or burl in the center of the root ball, so he thoughtfully gave it to me.  As you might imagine, the whole mass was a mixture of wood, small stones, and dirt.  After much blasting with the garden hose and hours resharpening tools, this small bowl emerged -- approx 6" across at the top.
