Nested Elm Bowls

These nested  Elm Bowls were turned from the same tree that fell in my neighbors yard a few weeks ago.  The smaller was cored from the larger one.  The natural edge (Bark) was left intact and creates an interesting profile.  They were nuked in the microwave to dry and doing so they obtain a slightly oval shape.   This oval shape is not due to the microblaster , but is a natural occurrence that happens when wood dries.
