Hi Chris, It’s difficult to see from the picture which way the growth rings are pointed. On bowls I like to have the growth rings up, such that the rings look like a smile.
Hi, thanks for the reply. If the rings are shaped in the smile (like this sample) is the bowl bottom up or down?
Sorry for the slow response. I didn’t see your second question until today. The bowl in the picture above is sitting right side up, bottom down, as it’s shown.
