That's an interesting font with the sideways 'O' and the different looking 'B'. Can I ask where you got it?

Ray, the pattern was kindly made for me by Grampa (Paul), sorry I have no idea what the font was

Mahendra, It was a piece of Ash the bowl was made from, it had just
started spalting in places, it was finished in "woodturners finishing oil" with a very little oil based stain mixed in to colour it slightly.

Well it's finished, I must say I would have preferred to have made the bowl as well. If you look closely at the finished picture only the writing around the edge has the black behind it (and a little part of the helicopter skid) the rest he left white so it doesn't show up enough. I would have filled the writing with a black inlace resin, and the helicopter with a red inlace resin (the actual heli is bright red.) When sanded after that the bottom of the bowl would be smooth to the touch, not collect dust in the cuts and it would also have a nice colour to it. but that's just my opinion. You all see what you think?

The plate on the base of the bowl is engraved with   " Presented to HRH The Duchess of Cornwall on the occasion of her birthday on 17th July 2013 by the Cornwall Air Ambulance.   Hand crafted by the Mid Cornwall Turners".
Thanks again to Grampa (Paul) for the pattern.

I can beat you there Billy, I placed an order with Mike for blades and drill bits, it arrived in U.K. 5 days later.  Now THAT is GOOD service.
