This is a simple bowl made of chinaberry, it is just over 14" in diameter. The thickness is ~ 3/8", finish is tung oil and paste wax.

Nice bowl. I like the way the grain runs at an angle. Well done.

Very nice. Not sure if I have ever seen Chinaberry before. Is it native to Texas?

Nice bowl! From the pics, the wood favors sassafras. Nice color and grain.

I love the bowl. How was the chinaberry to turn? We've got some around my part of the country as well. I made a pen a few years ago from a piece if chinaberry Burl that was beautiful cream and pale yellow... Sold quickly. Thanks for posting
