I turned this piece while recalling the high plains and ancient volcanic cones of the Wupatki country north and east of Flagstaff, Arizona, where I lived for several years. I centered the top in a large section of crotch-wood, producing curly figure across the rim and dark heartwood streaks that swirl around the bowl. The wide rim slopes gently upward, then drops abruptly into the bowl, reflecting the topography of this remote and beautiful region. ~Mesa Bowl
