   It's hard to tell whether the wood makes the bowl look so good or the bowl makes the wood look so good. Whatever it it is, that's a beautiful bowl.

   Thanks guys. I appreciate your comments. Asthewoodturns, the spikes are the natural outside surface of the burl. 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.
