First time trying to do this, I enjoyed it, will probably do more.

Wood is mango, finish is Tung oil\spar varnish\mineral spirits with a lacquer top coat.

Wow, stunning piece! It almost looks like its in motion.

Was it difficult to execute? Think you'll do more like it?

Great looking piece!
Your wood is spectacular, and the shape is awesome.
My last simple winged bowl took a toll on my fingers enough. Three times I caught myself and moved my digits... the fourth time I had a not-so-subtle reminder (just about healed now) - worst thing is I cracked the piece.
Twirling wood and air is an art (one I haven't had enough success with).

One thing that helped me turning air, I laid a paper towel on the bed of my lathe, the wood showed real well against the white. I was able to see my corners. A trick I learned from my class at John C. Cambell.
