Second Large Ash Bowl

This is the second of the bowls turned rough when I maxed out my lathe, made of white ash.  It's finished with BLO under gloss lacquer.  The curl in some areas is incredible, especially on the inside.  There's also a light line near the rim for about 1/3 the circumference; looks almost like a hamon on a katana blade, but I did nothing to form it.  I recessed the bottom by a tiny bit to form a ring for the bowl to rest on.
