9" Diameter x 2 1/2" tall. Turned green, dried and returned. I sanded the bowl to 600 grit and finished it with Mahoneys Walnut oil.

Mike, I am surprised at the nice, warm patina the ash has! Lot more character than one might expect.
Love the form, and the crotch grain!! Nice work!

Nice bowl, Mike. I too am pleasantly surprised by the warm color. I would have thought that it would be really pale.

Thanks for the feed back.
The color would have been very pale (light) but I soaked the rough out in used dna and I'm afraid it altered the color.:o
In the future I may need to have 2 separate dne baths. One for dark woods and 1 clean for light woods.
Kiss my Ash Crotch :cool:
Mike
