Nice bowl and I love all that color. Looks a lot like Cedar...Bill..

Roy - very nice bowl! Nice form and finish but really like the color variations of the wood! Unusual to see light and dark colors multiple times throughout a bowl. Pretty cool effect! Thanks for sharing!

Very nicely done Roy. Really love all that color. I noticed that you said you would love some cedar, care to maybe to a wood swap? I have plenty of it around. PM me and let me know.

Did you turn it green or was it dry? If green, how did you dry it? Did you rough turn it and then let it dry? I have read that Chinaberry cracks really bad - what was your experience?

There is some around the edge of the farm and we always considered it a junk tree. If it looks like your bowl, I'll have to try some.

It was turned green to the 10% rule, air dried 'bout 2 years.
I don't know why any of the other methods wouldn't work.
Dna,or sack with shavings.

Get you some and give it a spin.
