Box Elder Bowl

I saw a pile of wood by the curb on my way home from work one day, so I stopped and talked to the guy.  He'd taken down a box elder tree that was splitting and threatening his home earlier in the day, so I loaded up my trunk.  This is one of those bowls.  It's got some curl and a large number of fantastic looking fish eyes and is almost pure white, even after being treated with BLO.  This is the first time I've used lacquer on a project and must admit that I love it - fast drying, hard, and very glossy.  Bad thing is that it REALLY stinks.
