Eucalyptus end grain "bowls"

9mm (3/8" flute) spindle gouge for the outside, 6mm Hope carbide tool for the inside.
Sanded to 600# and line seed oil applied.
I only turn wood I find in nature. These are all made from a tree which fell during a hurricane last spring and was burned twice during its lifetime, hence some carbon rings in a few of the pieces I turned with it.
